Winter Blues

Tiny tips of green thrusting their way through the cold earth You look and scratch your head and wonder, what did i plant there Its cold, the tiny bulbs shiver as though close to death Being a friendly gardener I try to block the wind  with care Be off with you winter you've been here far to long move over for the spring You have had your monents your chances to shine You brought the snow to impress us and make childrens voices ring Winter blues are all but over now , spring will be just fine. Snow is beautiful I must admit,soft yet scrunchy underneath your feet The snowman the children built did look rather swell Carrot nose sultana eyes and clothes I hadnt  finished with yet But with the sun peeping out, poor snowman doesnt look so well So wintry sun are you the guide  for springs sunshine, you pathe the way So those poor tips of green will grow  and bring forth flowers galore The daffodils, tulips, freesia and snowdrops, loving the day That the  sun will help you forget those winter  blues for sure.
