Notes About The Poem

This is a poem about the first day of spring after a long winter and it happens to be raining.

Vernal Equinox

Vernal Equinox 

This is a day for picking up
that cast-aside poetry book
about dreams deferred, its clarity
a balm to your chafing heart.

This is a day for cabernet or single 
malt scotch, as you sit, dressed in 
flannel PJs beside a crackling fire.

Let the day-long rain clean windows
wash streets, coax roots, feed seeds, 
kiss buds keen to burst into blossoms.

Let Winter’s protracted discontent pass
and Spring give birth to hope.
