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.

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! :)

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
