Oh, Spring, Spring! How I adore you.
Your vibrant green branches
sway in a gentle breeze while...
Snow? Is that SNOW???
Um... K...
Your vibrant green branches
sway in a gentle breeze torrid gust
while the smell of new life floats large, fluffy white flakes float
as feathers
to the newly awakening grass...
Er...
Um...
to the newly covered grass.
Your clear blue sky fog-wrapped, gloomy sky
snowy. And cold.
Like the ground.
Uh... Sigh.
My bare toes itch to feel your fresh grass...
or...
maybe...
My boot-clad, calloused and dry winter-skinned feet
struggle to kick open the door
against your heavy drifts...
and you beckon me back inside the furnace-induced warmth
of my house.
Alas! The barren branches of barren trees
burst with buds and blooms of life
even more snow.
And...
more snow. Everywhere.
The plants that struggled to the surface
now weep in your frigid embrace.
This door, once so open and inviting
will close against your insistence on wind and storm.
While the earth sleeps still under a blanket of white.
and instead of stripping off layers of winter chill,
the children dress as eskimos
to play in your feeble rays of sun.
The end.
This post was alternately titled, "Why I Hate March."
AKA, "Why I Hate March in Wisconsin."
With a subtitle of, "Spring Winter Storm Ezekiel." Because we name our storms like hurricanes here, and this was the fifth HUGE storm of 2011.
I'd say I'm done with it, but I believe I've made my stance clear.
*Be sure to check just below for all the fun parties I link to!
I thought this last one was Winter Storm Francesca...wazz this about Ezekiel?
ReplyDeleteArgh.....to the snow. We in the South didn't get snow, but our close neighbors just up the road from us had a tornado last night. A lot of damage, but luckily no bad injuries or deaths!
ReplyDeleteIs it ok to link up more than one project in the yarn party?
Ummm...wow. So should I not tell you that it was like, 80 here yesterday? *ducks for cover* :)
ReplyDeleteWe look the same here in Northern Cali. We sometimes hunt for eggs in the snow, crazy. It has even snowed in June. I still put out Spring stuff, you hear that snow, you can't stop me, lol...
