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!
