Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The Start of Spring

Tomorrow marks the start of spring.
The weatherman said it would bring
Some rain and wind and maybe snow – 
That’s not the way that it should go!

It’s time to ditch the winter coats,
For hearing “spring” to us denotes
Not boots and scarves and barren trees
But budding blooms and gentle breeze.

At least, to most, the longer days
Provide more time to soak up rays
And thus prepare for springtime sun
When Nature’s little prank is done.

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly March 28, 2018 at 3:02 AM Such a pleasure are your poems to read and this one too I say, indeed. Perhaps, winter will take a hint and go away, allow more than just a glint of spring before May. Happy spring! :)

Maurice Rigoler March 20, 2018 at 8:06 PM Tomorrow's nor'easter will be our fourth in 2 weeks! What's going on with the weather? Also, not a robin in sight yet? I did see an early dandylion (sic) while walking the dog and that lightened my spirit. Thanks for reading my easy classification on animals. / M
