Were it the end
of winter
and
the green showing
through the melt
was the promise
of spring
rather than
hearty weeds
of summer
Were the sunshine
the herald of Spring
and
not the highlighting
of barren dreary
I would
be far more apt
to enjoy it

Yeah, it will be a while for your dream to come true, Lori. Still, it doesn't hurt to wish.

Yep, it's "Snow Thaw" here too.
From the deep freeze of snow and ice to the
the warming Indian summer type weather can make for kind of ugly.  But I love it anyhow...  And your poem too.

For sure, dear Lori! It's not time yet and hopefully winter will be given another chance to be white!

I can only dream of it!

Very nice work.

I am so longing for spring this winter.  I was going to buy fake flowers and put them in the snow beside my house.
