...first she lamented the shrinking snow-mountain...
... then, after a pause she said, "Actually, it's quite spwingy today ...
I don't weally want it to be wintow anymoh (winter anymore)!"
And I heartily agreed!!
(The same girl who lamented in January 'what kind of winter is this?!!" at the lack of snow:)
Oh, doesn't it give you an adrenaline rush as you contemplate
A world of budded wonder waits to wow the one who wanders where
A loom of green-gossamer lace breaks soft upon the dreamy
stare
And mist of pink-kissed cherry tree and puddles of
forget-me-not
Draw we of
footloose, fancy-free proclivity to wooded lot
The daffodil with dapper grin delights us with its yellow
duds
And suddenly somewhere within we feel a little like the
buds
That brim with beauty’s Magnum Opus where too long gales
held at bay
The sanguine song and sunbeams dancing in a ballroom we
call May
Like plump gold pillows, primrose clumps are tossed to
grass-lounge riverbanks
We cannot help but pause a bit and revel in the thrill of
‘thanks’
For winter past and summer’s mast raised on a massive
flower-yacht
For luxury of sweat and dust and long June days and
garden plot
The best of life seems better after we have weathered
winter’s ‘Worst’
The zest of laughter sweeter in bare feet dandelion immersed
And oh, that first full burst of color; tulip-lilac
promenade
Makes everybody fall in love with Nature and her fine
parade

PAd Challenge day 26: For today’s prompt, write a relationship poem. Of course, there are human relationships, but there are also plant-animal relationships, animal-animal relationships, and even mathematical relationships. Good, bad, healthy, and not-so-much. Dive deep today.
