Pretty liars

Simple words on a false dawn

I asked the swaying daffodils
by whom they had been sent
I asked if spring their courier
they nodded in assent.

I asked the Apple blossom same
then snowdrops, bluebells too
they all said spring their courier
and that winter now was through.

So I took them at their floral word
believing all they said be true
but woke to find a world of white
"Oh what pretty liars you"

Author's Note

Very strange weather nowadays, I agree. Things change so quickly from one extreme to another that it is not at all surprising that you have snow on the edge of Spring's arrival. It's one thing about living in Greece that is advantageous; you can always chase the sun and usually find it somewhere. This is a lovely rhyming fable, Gee. I suggest you keep a jacket close to hand until Spring truly arrives. 💛

[Gee]

HinMarina, thank you.
Yes, a jacket, bonnet and thermal socks :)

Funny, Gordon...just as I am typing a review for you I see that you have reviewed one of mine...
I really enjoyed this read first one today while sitting here in getting lighter cold Spain, with a cup of coffee.
Yes, I heard it was snowing in your neck of the woods and in several other countries.. Glorious sun just the day before..
Really enjoyed the words you used to convey your thoughts..Really good..

Sunny here and back from an hours walk..our gym is closed on the weekends..the walk was great although rather windy..

[Gee]

I'm into a bacon sandwich, coffee then 50km training ride :))
Sums out here but is rather nippy

[Gee]

Grrrrrrrrrrrr, sun is....

[John the Baptist]

Well rhymed humorous piece here. March is the month where nature can't make up its mind, so while we may dream of spring, don't put away the wool socks just yet.

[Gee]

Lol, my feet are bloody freezing.
Thank you

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this poem is just "Cool"!

best way to describe it, no pun intended...

the pretty liars, kind of an oxymoron there.
just when we thought spring was in our lap....it jumped off.
