Spring Is On Its Way! Poem by Malabika Ray Choudhury

not many more days, not many more days,
spring is at the doorstep!
white is still the dominant colour,
all around me - everywhere!
someone shovelling the driveway,
with a red coat on, and a frustrated demeanour,
the sunshine is deceiving,
it didn't bring the warmth people are craving,
the tall evergreen is stoic as usual,
winter blue couldn't not make her sadder!
a part of the hardened lawn gets the sunshine,
the other part probably cries in despair!
tulips, hydrangea, jasmine, rose -
they must be feeling so impatient like I do!
be back, Canadian Geese, when will you?
turning the bare branches of maple to full!

you, you have done this again!
blessed me with
memories of a few golden days,
my heart is full of sunshine,
so much so that
I don't mind sharing
the heavenly bliss with everyone!
