2 1041 3 - Spring By Willowbei E.

 

Ah, Spring

Remember when

Spring was 

“normal” (if it ever was) 

Before global Climate

Change 

Spring used to 

be more predictable 

(or was it) 

Now, Spring is

colder than “normal”

or 

warmer than “normal” 

or 

dryer than “normal” 

or wetter than “normal” 

or all of the above in

a single week

yet, the sun still sets

later 

the air is mostly clearer

mornings can 

be

sweeter 

am I fooling

myself

in saying all this 

to me 

it seem Spring

lacks a reality 

I have come to expect 

But

birds still sing 

their amazing tunes 

robins still 

hunt for worms in 

the well tilled garden 

rabbits still find a 

home in the pile of 

woodchips, set aside 

for garden mulch 

so, maybe it is

spring,

and 

if not “normal” 

at least close
