Winter that I thought had waned, has come back in full measure. It seems I'll have to wait awhile for all of springtime's treasure. The month came in so softly mild, I forgot it was February when one day can be beautiful and the next one so contrary. Some of the trees are budding. The bulbs are coming through. I fear this frosty weather might knock them all askew. But we can't control the weather, because for spring we yearn. Each season has it alotted time and it's still winter's turn. March The rain clouds overflow and spill. I shiver in the wind. Stooping to pick some springtime, I bring an armload in. My house is filled with sunshine, for on all the windowsills Are streams of golden sunbeams from my yellow daffodils. by: Joyce 2001 |

Joyce, you took my breath away with this one. "an armful" yes! I have over 300 tulips that will soon emerge, and I'm so glad I'm going to see them soon! Welcome if I haven't already said that, to Passions. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

This certainly speaks of spring to me. I know you have bulbs in bloom where you are. I really enjoy your poetry. Betty Lou Hebert |
