Description
Springtime
First day of spring
And the weather
Is a liar
It's still cold enough to snow
The season is
Peeking around the corner
Wondering if it's
Safe to come out yet
Forsythia pops out
Crocus of course
But everything else
Hibernates
First day of sun
And the neighborhood
Starts chatting
Dogs bark
Kids yell
Someone down the street
Mows the lawn
The first 50-degree day
And shorts appear
Bicycles
Motorized scooters
Top down
Happy
Crazy for sunshine
Flowering cherry
Plum
Bleeding heart
Daffodils
It will be another six weeks
Before we see
Lilac
Rhododendron
By the time
Everything's in bloom
The air is rain-washed gentle
And it looks like spring
The calendar will click over
Into summer
And the weather
Will be a liar
Once again

Wonderful prose! :)
That's really nice, and a beautiful image to go with it.
Exceptional prose. I love the first three lines! Payback is a bitch. Mother Nature does not like being abused and we've certainly done our share. We should be grateful she doesn't make it snow forever. I guess I'll have to look into Art Rage. You do such wonderful things with it.
Indeed yes!!! terrific.
Very true Great poem
Lovely script and image.
A wonderful poem and graphic, Tara! May it comes soon – I'm getting tired of all this snow.... :-)
Excellent love the poem yes the spring weather is a liar we got snow last night and all day yesterday now just cold and 39 degrees I dont call this spring do you? LOL Hugs Susan
Marvelous work!
Lovely image for this sweet poem :)
Wonderful writing Tara. God bless.
Refreshing poem :)
I enjoyed the read. :) Nice work!
Excellent poem....
WOW! Poetry is such a marvel, especially since it's deceptive. Like the calendar, poetry is a liar...it says "I'm easy to write because I'm short" and it turns around and demands as much work as a 400 page novel. Ah, but your poem reads so wonderfully; it flows, it catches flashes of brilliance and wraps them in the gentle sway of clouds and damp weather and the greenery of growth. This rocks!
more smiles seem to appear as the sun warms the cold bones warm hugs, Linda Kaye
ah yes spring warm sunny blue skies then it's cold windy wet and wintery spring!!
