May Play
Virginia Salter

blustery wind
blows and blows
on the mountaintop the snows
flying ‘round like blizzard sighs
fogging up our springtime eyes

May is here
and so’s its sun
sparring with the clouds for fun
punching holes where e’er it may
splicing lightning in the day

tumbling thunderheads around
harmonizing hailstones’  sounds
swishing, rumbling, swirling rains
clogging up the city’s drains

violence unleashed, and how!
whether with a grand “kapow!”
what will be the final play
to color up the end of day?

VAS, we had this yesterday and more "Kapow's" today.  May may indeed prove an interesting play.  Thank you for the read.

Vancouver's weather is getting on my nerves!  You hang out the wash in the sun, then hailstones the size of golfballs bean you trying to get it in out of a monsoon!  It is nuts!  Where is Spring?  Great poem Virginia.

Spring's right here.  This poem was written last year...I think. I'd have to go back to the previous page to be certain...I've such an over 50 memory.

Thanks for sinking down to read this one, Mysteria.

Thanks, Inclan for reading, too, and causing me to go back and read my poem to understand the 'kapow' remark.  I'm pathetic aren't I?
