Late Spring

Time clocks have them stirring,
Stretching little heads;
Shrugging off their coverings,
Struggling from their beds.

Mother Earth admonishes,
Resets the alarm.
Too eager emergence
Brings a bulb to harm.

Winter weary, waiting
New life to appear.
On the wind a whisper,
"Spring is late this year."

Joyce 02/10/04

I love the poem Joyce.  Your waiting for your spring and I am waiting for my autumn.  I am sweltering here.  The temperature here has been ranging between 94 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.  In the outback it reached 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Joyce;  I like your poem!  No sign of spring around here yet, though! Of course, you will see them before I do.

Love
