"Hope your weather catches up soon.".
Sonnet to Almost Spring
The flowers stir, and stretch their tender shoots,
Awakened by a warmth come softly seeping,
Rise up! the call has traced their hidden roots,
To rouse them from their winters peaceful sleeping.
The den of slumbers has become,
A din of noisy childish clatter.
Impetuous and impish in its sum,
They split the earth and clamber up its ladder.
Emerging into sunlit air, and softening caresses,
Of nurture at its basest form, the soil on which we stand,
Which all too quickly grips them and compresses,
As night falls much too early in the land.
False spring has lured them out. Cruel seasons dying play,
Receding from the shores of Spring, the Winter ebbs away.
