What a familiar lament. You have the timing and sequence of events down to a tee. Happens just like that here in Michigan. You just never know when or if Spring will ever get there. I love your very last line. With a little imagination one can decipher what you REALLY mean.

Great rhyming, easy to read, the verses literally bounce along and flip right off my tongue. Very nicely done.

    Thanks Gary! I didn't realize that you were still from Michigan.
    I guess that also makes us almost neighbors and share those beautiful Great Lakes. I do like my happier poems and to find a way to laugh at those things that don't seem so important.after all. Thanks for all you kind words and for having a little fun w me.

Ha! I hope I'm finding you well, my talented friend. Debi, this is sensational and funny. I didn't see that last stanza coming. Poor jack frost! Oh, well, if I remember right, I believe he deserved it! Loved this! Best, JohnC

    John, you always know how to review one of my poems, just when I need a little pick me up. And as the drs just left my hospital room and said I may not be able to go home this week as planned, there you are! Your sweet and fun comments have made my night! I thank you from the bottom of my heart my dear friend!

    That is not good news regarding going home. It'll all be behind you soon enough. Stay well, Debi. Best, JohnC

This poem, Spring is in the Air in June, reminds the readers that spring took its good time springing this year and now we are experiencing summer plus.

    Hi Bill, lol, Exactly! it took me a whole poem to describe what you just said in a few words. Just wondering where you are from? I'm from MN so we are known as the deep freeze ice capital of the country. Thanks my dear friend for the awesome review and comments.

This is adorable and if I had any more six star reviews, they'd go to you for sure. Yes, this past spring did seem to drag on forever and a day. I think Denver got snow in late May. Crazy. Your rhyming scheme and meter on this piece were perfect, light, and, well, like a spring breeze. Nice work!

    Hi Laurie, your thoughts of the six stars are every bit as meaningful, so thank you for that. We actually missed Spring this year as we went from Winter to Summer here in MN & this week has been 100+ all week. Thanks Laurie for the awesome comments!

    Sandra, I just love you more everyday! Thank you for your lovely review and your comments mean a lot to me. I might be getting to go home tomorrow or Friday with home health care and PT. I am so excited as its been a long two weeks, but I felt those prayers and my heart is so full for you and others said for me. Drs actually said that they thought I wouldn't make it when my vitals and blood crashed. But I told them that I had lots of prayers so I wasn't surprised. Thank you again my beautiful friend!

    You are most welcome. I know you are excited to be going home. I am glad to hear the good news.

This is a cute piece, I enjoyed reading it very much. How can one not love that feeling of spring in the air, that longing for winter to finally be gone. Well done!

    Thanks JP, you are very kind and it's nice to have others who understand how it feels to long for Spring, as this year we went right from Winter to Summer. I truly appreciate your thoughtful review and words.

Hahaha..that last line really got me. This poem is humorous and something I can relate to, being from Minnesota. We go right from winter to summer! Thanks for sharing.

    Hey Sweetie, that's where I'm from. Minnesnowta. Where are you from? I live in Maple Lake, near Buffalo. In fact the Allina Clinic that was shot up last year was where I go. I wrote a poem about it on the second page of my portfolio. It's called Deadly Shooting at Allina Clinic. Small world on a world wide sight to find so many lately from our state........
    Thanks for the awesome review and kind comments my friend!

It seems you had some fun with this challenge! You seem to describe what we have here a very long winter but not that much snow. I hope you are able to be home soon and are recovering well.
Best wishes in the contest!

    Thanks so much Helen, for your lovely review and your kind and caring wishes. They are saying that I may be able to go home Thursday or Friday, and they'll be sending PT & home healthcare to continue drawing labs every couple days. It will feel good to see my grandkids again. Thanks again my dear friend!

Ouch! I guess you are tired of the cold weather and how it refuses to move on. I would advise old man winter to not only pack up his gear and get the heck on out of here. If he allows any more snowflake falls, he may be endangering his precious wintry snowballs

    Hehe! Did I shock you dear brother? You know how much I love to end my humerus poems with a little surprise, but I guess I showed my naughty side on this one. It's great to hear from you, as this hospital is getting a little old, but happy to report they may be releasing me as soon as Thursday or Friday, w home health care coming into draw the daily labs & do vitals, etc..
    I loved your fun review Nomi as I can actually hear my terrific friend say those words with a cute grin on your face!

    Obviously, I not only loved it, I was inspired to try and capture the spirit of it so I could reply in a like manner. So glad and relieved that you are on the mend. Enjoy your return to your home, and do not freak out if it is a little untidy in your absence.

    Haha! You have met your brother in-law! Lol, I have already accepted that it will not look like I was home, but he will be waiting on me for a while, so I will close my eyes and appreciate being home. Actually Nomi, after you have had code blue called for you, you appreciate just being alive! Thank you for being you!😘

    My smile is so big right now, my face hurts. God I love you. You are among the best. I pray God grants you complete healing. I hope to speak to you again soon. Oh and be sure to say hello to the hubby, don't want to leave him out of the love fest.

    Haha! You are the best medicine for body and soul.
    I don't think I mentioned this as things have been foggy since my scary ordeal, but I want to thank you for the most beautiful things that you wrote about me on Margaret's Prayer for me. I started crying tears of joy, happiness, and felt so honored by it. So I copied and pasted it on my special folder in notes titled My Nomi. Then sometimes when I'm down, I open the folder and read and always feel so honored and proud. Here come the tears again, so I must pull myself together cause PT is coming and I don't want them to change their mind about letting me go home later this week. I love you too my very special and precious friend. More than you could possibly know.
    I am copying this awesome last note from you to your folder as well. 😘❤️🤗
    Thank you for always being there for me!!!!

Hello poet a good day to you. I hope this review finds you well. As a poet/writer it is always interesting to see the different takes on these contest/writing prompts. I think your take is definitely a good and funny one, that told a story with nice rhymes. Good job and good luck in the contest.
