Winter descends
decisive and bold
cold blowing and
candles lit to offset
shrinking daylight.
He is direct.
Spring, however, is capricious,
tantalizing and teasing with
tastes of warming temperatures
to tempt us from our dens.
But suns warming rays are fleeting
and daffodils suffer below
late snow blankets.
Last fall’s leaves and winter trash
rush across lawns to gather at fence lines,
hedgerows and roadside ditches.
She is a diva, constantly changing
her mind and guise.
She peeks from cloud covered skies,
curious how long we will wait.
