Delayed Spring

We're still waiting for true springtime,
Though the flowers do not care.
They raise sweet, adoring faces
To the sun that isn't there.

The apple blossoms flutter down
Like snow flakes not long gone.
Housekeeping wind comes whirling in
To send them twirling on.

The weatherman has promised
Warmer weather coming soon.
Fair spring won't have much time to stay
If summer comes in June.

Dear joyce:

I like your poem and we have the same situation here. Although today it is 74 degrees out here in the foothills. Warmer in town. The snow is really melting! Two seasons this year I guess.......winter and summer!

Love

I always enjoy reading your thoughts. I now reside in AL, but, presently I'm back on Galveston Is on business, and the weather is great.

Thanks, Melton

I loved your poem Joyce. Your artistic way of writing a vivid picture of your thoughts is great in this poem.

You say it beautifully, dear Joyce. It seems the weather all around the world is slightly "out of season". I had my cactus flowers blooming the other day and then the rain kept them close and I fear they won't open up again!
Love and joy.
