Snow Bound
spring a month away
might as well be twenty years
or a life sentence
The Dregs of Winter
holding on, 'til spring
two more weeks, then the solstice
today, it's snowing
Patience, Patience
pawing through the snow
looking for spring, signs of life
nothing but dead leaves
Late Winter Hike
searching for flowers,
As Yet, No Sign Of Spring
marching on the trail
Maybe Tomorrow
not a bit of green
The Longest Month
trying my patience
Late Winter Hike
searching for flowers,
again, I came up empty
snow melts on hearth rug
As Yet, No Sign Of Spring
marching on the trail
searching in vain for flowers
crunching, rocks and ice
Maybe Tomorrow
not a bit of green
no daffodils peeking yet
only glistening snow
The Longest Month
trying my patience
March winds, rain, gloom, hopelessness
where is promised Spring?
Spring Mirage
At the outer limits
of what I could stand
of winter
With the same desperation
as the desert wanderer
who stumbles upon an oasis
and drinks heartily...
I just saw a robin!
Tag-Team Wrestling Play-By-Play
"March has a choke-hold!"
"Hang on, April's back! and she's
ripped off winter's grip!"
And Don't Come Back 'Til Next Year
snow lounges on deck
Tag-Team Wrestling Play-By-Play
"March has a choke-hold!"
"Hang on, April's back! and she's
ripped off winter's grip!"
And Don't Come Back 'Til Next Year
snow lounges on deck
snow lazes about on roof
outstays guest welcome
Hurry It Up!
slothful winter sun
will melt six inches of snow
sees no need to rush
Vernal Dance Step
impatient for spring
outstays guest welcome
Hurry It Up!
slothful winter sun
will melt six inches of snow
sees no need to rush
Vernal Dance Step
impatient for spring
I stomp on small piles of snow
"Melt! Melt now! Faster!"
Summer's Sun Understudy
morning's bright sunshine
reflected off frosty ground
recalling summer
Flutter Tease
are those butterflies?
nope, just morning snow flurries
curse you, long winter!
Almost There
the melting snow piles
"Melt! Melt now! Faster!"
Summer's Sun Understudy
morning's bright sunshine
reflected off frosty ground
recalling summer
Flutter Tease
are those butterflies?
nope, just morning snow flurries
curse you, long winter!
Almost There
the melting snow piles
the extra bits of sunshine
the greening grasses
Determination
grit your teeth and smile
daffodils keep on pushing
through dirt and cold snow
Sproing!
under snow's surface
crouched crocus flexes, uncoils,
jumps up, shouts for joy!
Sure Sign of Spring
my favorite poet
tweets about flowers, not snow
yay! spring has arrived
Spring Love Dance
oh, beautiful fir!
two birds, dancing their love dance
their nest, in your boughs
Blue Puzzle
dainty blue eggshell
Determination
grit your teeth and smile
daffodils keep on pushing
through dirt and cold snow
Sproing!
under snow's surface
crouched crocus flexes, uncoils,
jumps up, shouts for joy!
Sleepyheads
daffodils abed
sun calls, "Time to rise and shine!"
pulls off snow blanket
Sure Sign of Spring
my favorite poet
tweets about flowers, not snow
yay! spring has arrived
oh, beautiful fir!
two birds, dancing their love dance
their nest, in your boughs
Blue Puzzle
dainty blue eggshell
all of the pieces are here
...except the robin
...except the robin
