Winging Into Spring
Virgnia Salter

You should see the sunshine
you should feel the cheer
as it plays with my caffeine
that I’ve consumed in here.

Oh, yes, I’m still inside
for the sunlight’s quite deceiving
the frost is barely gone
the frigid stems are weaving.

The flag is at its billow
the birds are in a feast
if I should venture near the door
they’d think I was a beast.

The flock of finches are many
they’re thanking me their host
but if I should want to watch them
I must be as a post.



I wish for you the kind of joy
that’s flowing through my veins
accelerated speedily
with brewed up coffee grains.

You’d not believe the numbers
there’s one at every rung
and some waiting in the wings
until the first one’s find they’re done.

VAS - a tweety bird for you, tweet. And a fine writing, but I sure could use that cup of coffee.

Hey, Bill, thanks for reading. I was thinking no one was going to see this as it was getting shoved way down the forum. I appreciate your doing so and taking time to comment.

btw, I drained the pot, but if you come by, I'd could make some fresh.

Awesome....I love the poem and the graphic. Coffee doesn't sound bad, well, maybe not that bad anyway.
