Oh Spring, Please Come My thoughts have turned to springtime And the warming of the earth The colors of the garden And the redbud tree's rebirth I'm weary spent of winter And norwestern's blowing chill My heart now longs to have a taste Of springtime's radiant thrill But from my morning window I gaze at snowy mound The sun spreads crystal mantle Of glitter 'cross the ground The holly tree and maple Show off their silhouette Each twig and leaf in snow adorns This crystal white vignette A wonderland of glimmering ice My heart delights somehow In the joy of glassy icicles On rhododenron's bough The early robin sits above And contemplates the floor And waits as I for March's melt And green to grow once more Oh Spring, please come and melt this glaze And feed the flinch and crow But let me cling just one more hour To February's snow Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 02-05-2000).] |

I'm with ya on this one! Tired of that bone chilling wind. Ready for anything warmer!  How's Tony Liz? <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

Lorelei Thank you WhtDove, Thanks for the comment. Tony is doing well . Surgery will be in about 5 weeks and so he is having chemo and radiation in preparation . Our spirits are good now that we have a chance. Thank you for your concern. Liz |

Fair Elizabeth- So lovely. So you. You've brushed the canvas with the vivid colors of spring. How I long for the thrill of the orange blossoms fragrance in the air, and the sound of the mockingbird on my windowsill. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Slippin' and slidin', what a fright On ice encrusted streets tonight Back from the store I safely came My parking spot was gone, the shame It took three hours to dig out Last week and now I want to shout And scream at this most selfish act Now on a mound of snow, a fact I had to park and I'm so mad When spring arrives I'll sure be glad! Beautiful poem, Elizabeth! [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 02-05-2000).] |

Marge, I've never seen an orange blossom Or an orange in a tree But the sound of mocking bird Is an angel's voice to me Thanks, Marge PDV, Thanks, dear poet It's still winter here But spring in my heart Nan, I need spring, too Denise, You make me laugh I can see poor Denise come home tired from work Unable to park because of some jerk So she parks on a snow mound and comes to a stop Wheels a'spinnin til she gets to the top Then she couldn't drive again til the snow melted down So for days she had to walk into town Then the same guy who took her dear parking spot Reported her "abandoned car" to the cops Then the cops came along and towed it away And Denise has promised revenge til this very day Into tire slashing, dear? Thanks, Liz Roniece, You're very kind, Thank you d. Schultz, Yes love is the beauty of spring. I can't wait Hoot, I hear ya. |

An orange tree ladden with oranges, yes in the back yard of our so cal nest an arbor and salad growing thus from the mulch of all our labor, plus a pond with water's crystal shine and pool for summer days sublime a bench for someone to sit and dream of snow that she has seldom seen Lovely poem Liz. I do wish for a snowy day like you wish for spring. It did snow here once when I was six years old--a never forgotton treat. |
