It snowed all day long
A snow covered St.Patrick's day
No green to parade.
Just days away from spring
Winter's last breath is heavy with snow
Palladium earth greets the spring.
Like an unkind master
It inflicts pain with ice and sleet
Life bears and blooms iridescent.

It snowed all day long
On this St.Patrick's day-
No green to parade.
An unkind master
Inflicts pain with ice and sleet
Life iridescent.
Days away from spring
Winter breathed its last breath on
Palladium earth.
Season changes like this life which crosses three stages. Perhaps each season has its own importance. Why does it happen so. It is tough to understand the mystery of nature. Hi we can feel and realize the changing seasons of our lives.
Spring is here and the last snow in New York and Massachusetts reflect the scenario captured in Colorado. You put it beautifully in your haikus - no green to parade.
