Teasing

The calendar’s a tease

with come-hither claims of Spring,

the time for charms

of Nature’s sweet allure

 

Instead she’s staying hidden

under frigid blankets white,

sleeping soundly through

the echoed lion’s roar

THis does seem to be that kind of winter. Every time I think it's gone, it comes back for another week...then another...then another...

[Rita L. Sev]

Yep. We'll get a day or two of normal, or even warm, temps, then get slammed with another storm...

If only I hadn't lost that magic wand... ;)

yes, she is staying hidden...here in southern illinois we have a quarter inch of ice, then 2 inches of sleet and on top of that 3 inches of snow...good grief...

this poem makes me want to hibernate till it's over.

[Rita L. Sev]

Exactly how I am feeling, with yet another "snow day" to make up... But, it is March... can Spring be far behind?

The hidden promises of Spring and its sweet allure is what people, animals, and even plants look for. The new beginnings, the bloom of fora, the warming up to nature. For some they like to come quicker but this year it has been bad enough so all of them are staying hidden...
I guess weird weather phenomenons are ripping our world...Bravo......

I have had enough of winter, and am SOOOO looking forward to Spring! Thanks, Sami!

[Sami Khalil]

Yep. You are welcome...:).........
