A Blanket of Snow

What’s with this sudden, freak snow show?

We wrap up warm our cheeks aglow

And trudge through landscapes frosted white;

But this is April! Hold on tight!

 

Weather charts from yesteryear

Prove this phenomenon’s not rare

And yet, we’re taken by surprise

When snowflakes greet us when we rise!

 

Those flurries vanish, leave no trace …

Today, oh joy, a sunny face!

On close inspection, now I find

Wisteria’s purple buds have climbed

 

Along the branches I thought dead!

Yes, Spring is forging straight ahead;

In window boxes – tendrils green

That snow blanket made them keen!
