Ontario Spring...

 This is a taste of Ontario spring in the past 5 days...

Ontario spring is a moody, blue thing

Rain-drop and snowflake and gray monotone

Laughing and weeping we smile then we groan

Wondering when she will finally stay

Ontario spring is a frolicsome fling

Of violet purple and daffodil gold

Sassy-sweet zephyrs cajole and unfold

Blossom from bud-let in sun-beam sashay

Ontario spring is both beggar and king

Wheedling though tresses, distressed, mute and brown

Inauguration to green-gilded crown

Vexing, perplexing and playing her game

Ontario spring, vivacious vixen

Teasing and pleasing until one day

Her last moody pleasure has drifted away

And we do not care by what measure she came
