Hurry Hurry Spring
Is it spring yet
pestered the daffodils
in shades of yellow delight.
Not yet sighed the crocus
but what a sight you make
faces so bold and bright.
Is it spring
Whispered new grasses
in pale shades of green
Seems each year like
waking to a dream
smelling so clean.
Is it spring
Yelled each impatient tree
I am beginning to bud happily.
Be patient spring whispered
our time will come
spring is a special time for laughter and fun.
I'll let you know just when
So hush now!
In a few more days, spring will have sprung!

Lovely little poem - doesn't feel much like Spring yet, but maybe soon. You may like to read mine entitled Aspects of Spring. Must be in the air! !
