A Shorter Season |

A Shorter Season I don't see a hint of green That in other years has been Evident on shrub and tree, With spring's advent soon to be. No robins hopping on the lawn. The banks of snow, not nearly gone. The chorus that I usually hear From early birds, is lost this year. I wonder if, since it is late, The usual crowd will congregate To build their nests and fill the air With busy travels everywhere, To hunt for food and will they find A shorter season not as kind? Each day I look to see if I Can glimpse some sign that spring is nigh! Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ I wish you Spring with all the joy that it will bring~ I wish you green upon the lawn to greet you on the break of dawn~ I wish you Trillium in bloom so sweet it will simply sweep you off your feet~  I wish you Spring~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ Email - [email protected] |

Dear Marge: Maybe all your good wishes will drive these snow clouds away. 10 inches of new snow last night! The trilliums bloom every year in our woods and I always keep a bouquet of them in the dining room during the season. I joined PIP in April 6 or 7 years ago and I was trying to think of a password and my eyes settled on the bouquet and that was it! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty, Your poetry draws me like the proverbial moth to a flame. I think it calls to me. I wonder the same things. Our spring is not late, but it is a bit more biting cold. I hope those Robins fly to you soon. Alison |

Hi Barb: We have so much snow! 10 inches Friday and another 4 inches last night. We have beaten the record now for snow in any one winter. I guess I should be glad I was here to see it, do you think? Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty Lou, I am so sorry that I shortened your name in my previous post. I don't like it when people mess with my name and I try not to do it to others. And, yes, I am quite a fan of your poetry. Alison |

enjoyed the poem...am sure the snow will soon pass and the joys of spring will surround you!...rain has been, our problem, in missouri...much rain...much flooding! i have not experienced the floods, however...that is one of the fortunate aspects of living on high ground! |

Dear Betty Lou Your Spring did take a while in coming and only stayed for a short time before your summers arrival. I pray that next year your Winter will be short to see a longer Spring! I loved your poem! Love Elizabeth (Betty Lou) xo |
