Winter, Spring and Summer~ in two months time

A June Spring is in the Air

by Debi Pick Marquette

Loss of daylight gets to me and Winter brings me down Six months of this;  I worry about a lasting Winter's frown By February's end, my dad would always start the grill Not this year, because we had four feet of snow here still Then about the month of March when hope is in the air We change our clocks, it gives a boost like freedom from despair First day of spring is awesome  But a warm day would be sweet Let's stop griping 'bout the cold and complain about the heat We get a nice day here and there then comes a couple blizzards I'm ready then to pack it up and go live with the lizards Now it's almost April time to close that Winter door April Fool's Day snowstorm isn't funny anymore Winter lasts here all Spring long yet every year I rush it's hard to plant your flowers while standing in the slush It's time my winter fat is gone To show off my Spring roll In shade I have the Winter blues Spring sunshine in my soul Now it's May, our weatherman forecasts some more snowfalls Spring, kick that old Jack Frost right in his cold snowballs
