Now, Falls the Snow

Heavy laden this mix of rain and early March snow
  listing in the wind down to the un-expecting earth below.
At first, a barely visible mix, cold and chilling throws
  where once peeking daffodils and tulips grow.

A tease set deep upon the earth
  when spring was thought to be rebirthed
but now comes the wind, the chill, the bitter cold
  blinding white scenes of stories of old.

Children will remember this
  where ice and snow chiseled an icy kiss
and footholds are carefully tread
  beneath the trees snapped and widely spread.

A flash of light, untethered blue
  followed by  thundered rumbled stew
snow thunder heralds loud and through
  the fall of eight inch drifts accrued.

March surprise, entered in like a lion glidinf
  storm adventures brewing undenying
wait for the warm, chill factor disappearing
  spring will return with  blessings more endearing.

Greenswards Fecundity Will Soon Bloom Away

Quite mild winter weather bourne this way
within environs of Perkiomen Valley
since latter months of 2021,
but also since me 
January 13th, 2022 birthday,
I predict minimal snowfall
for remainder of 2022 winter,
what with just couple weeks
until Spring Equinox.

Within lil more'n a fortnight, 
as tempestuous slam
dunk March madness closes curtain call
“in like a lion, out like a lamb,” 
twill hove tested survivability,
asper flora, thru harsh winter, and

those most see ring robust will pass exam
unbridled love bursting asunder
cavorting, frolicing, instigating
wham bam thank you ma'am
lollygagging, orchestrating, romancing

while birds and bees pollinate jam
ming, humming, fostering sensational slam
dance, where flora lifts, wafts, and yawps
invoke warble, gurgle, 
burble from baby in pram.

Meanwhile latent Mother Earth
quite pregnant with
multifarious potent new life
vermilion, violet ready to burst

asunder from Gaia's girth
dramatically altering landscape
with expectant birth
of animal and plant species distilled

within crucible, sans terra firma hearth
quite a contrast, when
polar vortex wrought dearth
whence Spring begets plenti
kindling, snapchatting, and twittering mirth.

Also uniquely designed hue man
denizens of every stripe nurse
tender affection expressing
amorous poetry and verse
rejoicing, the dead of winter,

and attendant frostbite curse
frozen folks felled, thence carried
away in horse drawn hearse,
where heavy grief ameliorated
as natural holistic

narcotic brings pacific
balm, calm, and psalm snapping,
crackling, and popping
wide web with electric
ambient ancient, yet contemporary music

punctuating the air with lulling lyric
since time immemorial
recognized as greatest soporific
equally savored, whether
devout or atheistic
nonpareil eclectic dreamy

harmonic melange cathartic
aural, diurnal, integral
quintessentially converging harmonic,
democratic, and anthemic
congregation replete with fantastic
incorporation, viz diversity galactic!

This morning the winds were eighty miles an hour.
The rain lashed down, Nature showing her power.
Now, an hour later, the sun shines so bright
Casting down her warm rays, a beautiful sight.

Our moods change as the weather these days.
One minute we're rain, the next, sunny rays.
March has come in like a lion, true,
And we hope she'll go out like a lamb too.

Winter has left us frazzled and stressed
And we're ready for spring when we're at our best.
Enough of winter, of storms and snow.
For winter and our bad moods, it's time to go.

Premium Member Greetings To a New Year Season

Soon there will be temperatures that will show 
Forecast predicting snow 
Coming down creating blankets that are white 
Packed together thrown when in a fight 
Everything seems magical as it drops 
Festive music enhances need to shop 
Even though 
It is ten below 
Off to the market letting more money go 
When the year turns 
Heaters orange red as they burn 
During calendar page number one 
Chilly despite rays from the sun 
Gigantic covers by a fire romantic and fun 
Recovering after the work is done 
Month turns two 
Expression heard ‘I love you’ 
American Presidents have an honor which is cool 
Holiday tri tempting and true 
Coming in like a lion or lamb 
Blurring the cold plan 
Hitting a jam 
Heat rising taking a stand 
St Patrick’s lucky Irish have a day 
Kiss me buttons do say
Corn beef and cabbage served warding off snake’s fear 
Bringing hope and cheer 
Spring steps in 
Taking it on the chin 
Question “Where have you been?” 
“Haven’t seen you in a while” 
Answering with a smile 
Turning the weather dial 
“A vacation not long 
Hung out in tropics listening to steel band songs 
Rested and feeling good 
Ready for a summer ditching wintry looking hoods 
Putting on protective lotion 
Modern potion 
Careful due to roasting” 
Enjoy whatever the degree
That stipulates what type of ski 
One on water that is fluffy ice 
Or placid tranquil calm warming up nice 
Change in season 
Ever so pleasing 
Besides being challenge and teasing  
Making one think that is the reason 
Take every moment in stride 
Remembering it is only a natural ride
That comes and goes like an oceanic tide
