The Melody of Spring

The Melody of Spring


The pat, pat, pat of tears from icicles
Falling on the breast of Mother Earth
Are music to my ears.

Robert Pettit Date: 4/22/2021 8:24:00 PM A fanciful way of describing water from melting icicles as tears. To me, they would be tears of joy realizing that winter is passing into spring. Login to Reply
