~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

Crooked arms waving
beckoning to me
as the March winds
whistle a familiar tune
of nature's renewal.
I approach hesitantly,
my hair whipping
in the breeze
like unattended ribbons
on a May pole.
The sharp call of a jay
catches me off guard.
Looking up, my face
is teased, tickled
by velvet, grey
kitten toes.
My sweater catches, snags
as I twirl and giggle
within it's paw-like grasp.
Ah yes! Revival!
Another winter endured
Another spring to celebrate
And I am but a human
ball of yarn
To the playful
pussy willow.
