Fair to middlin' of nowhere

The clock
spring forward forgot
says five: fifty-five a.m.
The temperature on
the thermometer outside
says fifty-five degrees
I’m not one
for lucky numbers
but….
that’s five fives in a row
I’m not one
for superstition
but…
I believe it’s an indication
Winter has moved
to another location
Spring is free at last
to breathe
it’s warmth into
tender shoots and buds
and achy bones
The scent of gray clouds
today is rain

I just say it is about damn time, Lori. It wasn't spring here yesterday though, it was cold all day. Wishing warm weather for Kansas starting today.

I think I'm looking forward to winter as much as you are to spring.  Been a hot summer here.

I have often said it takes a cold winter here to make you forget the triple digits of summer. I hear you!
