First Day of Spring

A cold, cloudy day, 
with periods of rain
and snowflakes...
Are you sure it's the first day of Spring? 

Bursts of colors that have been missing from the landscape
peaking, poking, and leading me to believe
that it could be the first day of Spring.

Free Italian ice from Rita's. 
Now I know that it is the first day of Spring.

  1. Your poem was delightful. I adore this stanza:
    "Bursts of colors that have been missing from the landscape
    peaking, poking, and leading me to believe
    that it could be the first day of Spring."
    Such fun play with words! Beautiful!

  7. Sometimes I feel like we miss out on spring here in northern Wisconsin. We go from snow to mud to summer. I like your Italian ice sign of spring, though!

  8. Rain here in Northern California for the first day of spring. But I guess we can't complain.

  10. I know. Spring keeps coming and going in my area too. Glad you found something on which to latch as you wait for Spring to make up its mind.
