Spring - NaPoWriMo #11

Last week

we had a foot of snow;

heavy snow that broke tree branches.

And yet, my tulips, halfway up,

and Scilla, already blooming,

covered in that same snow

are out today

showy and cheerful and thriving.

 

Spring is relentless.

Try as we might,

it can’t be stopped.

 

Even when it’s painful

even when we aren’t prepared

even when we can’t,

life goes on.       

April Snow Showers - NaPoWriMo #2

April showers - bah!

We have snow;

Deep, heavy snow.

The snow that breaks branches

and attacks hearts.

Serious, blowing snow that

laughs at your

crocuses and tulips

 

Snow that shakes its head

at our verses of spring

and flowers and colors and rebirth

 

Snow that reminds us

before any birth

labor pains can last a very, very long time.
