Daylight was drenched,
and soggy pathways
forbade trespassing
by the riverside.

A mystical mist
hangs tentatively
over lady Susquehanna,
and the birds are quiet.

One can sense and feel
ominous omens,
portent of possible floods,
rising ravaging rivers.

Yet I discovered early buds
on many trees and shrubs,
and walked away
with a smile.

Mother Nature is beautiful
in all her weather gowns!

my dear lady, a beautiful hum after a good peek of spring.  Beautiful!!

Are you sure you walked away? not sailed away?

Thanks, friends!
It's a soggy week, not at all what February should be in NE Pennsylvania. There should be snow on the ground.
But I cherish Mother Nature's offerings no matter what she gifts.

I really like the images:

"mystical mist
hang(ing)...
over lady Susquehanna,
and the birds are quiet."

and:

Mother Nature is beautiful
in all her weather gowns(!)"

Midnitesun,

The Susquehanna is a beautiful river, a mile wide, and a foot deep.

Nice poem.

Bobby
