Delightful spring day
Soon approaching May
Open window’s view
Life’s freshness streams through
Everything alive
Nature’s best arrives
Birds fill nearby tree
Songs tweeting with glee
Virginia bluebells
Blooming, much to tell
Squirrels all about
Springtime’s early scout
Tree canopy swells
Leaves cast greenest spells
Geese gather in pairs
Nesting with love’s care
Smelling fresh-mown grass
Yards looking first-class
Sometimes nature blinks
At times, summer winks
Time to plant gardens
But, beg your pardon!
Overnight, snow calls
Spring’s waltz quickly stalls
Home furnace heats up
Winter stirs mix-up
Spring’s hiatus brings
Snowflakes’ final sting

Suzette, thanks so much for reading this poem. It was definitely a spur of the moment poetic opportunity. Fortunately, our bit of winter of short-lived.

We often are surprised with a spring snowfall here in Minnesota. At least we aren’t tracking mud into the house.

Speaking of mud, I lived in a very small town in southeastern Montana when I began teaching (Plevna). The roads were made from crushed scoria, and its reddish tint would color the mud the same color when the spring thaw arrived.

Very true Jim! I shouldn’t be complaining too much. Spring in the Buckeye state is much more tolerable than some of the past ones I experienced in eastern Montana years ago.

I would guess that Montana has its share of extended winters…

Thank you Jim! I shouldn’t be too hard on the early spring weeks in Ohio. They are usually much more polite than ones I have experienced back in Montana.
