Winter’s Flowers

The drops evoke
a winter’s snow
The stalks bespoke
of spring’s escrow
Combined bankroll
a season’s stroll
through then and when

March’s Madness

From seventy
to six inches
Spring’s preview the
Winter pinches
Being inclined
to change their mind
is her nature

Rude weather last weekend with a 40 degree (fahrenheit) drop in one day, and then six inches of snow and ice. Going from short sleeves to shoveling snow. Ah, March. One of my cats wanted to go out on the deck, so we let him. He enjoyed it too fast for pictures. 😸
