For opening day: "Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things."
Snow is in the forecast for next Tuesday! It was 74 degrees today, and the windows were open, the breezes were mild.
A little thought today:
Slumbering winter
Like January's embers
Warming, but still aglow.
Waking in April
Will not leave so easily
Pull out the mittens

"Slumbering winter . . . waking in April," I love the personification. Linda, so sad that you have snow in your forecast again. Hopefully, it will be just a short visit and spring can chase it away.
ReplyDeleteYes, it will be brief, but still... We actually can have snow all the way into May! Thanks Ramona!
DeleteYour pairing of visual and poetry give a wonderful connection.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth. I hope someday I can purchase a very fancy camera. For now, I'll rely on others, or sometimes, on the IPhone.
DeleteIn Maine, it's unusual, but we've had snow in June. That isn't fun. Less unusual are the April and May snows, which are brief - but our daffodils and tulips really don't like that snow. Love "January's embers"! I like thinking of it that way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna. We need the moisture so badly, I hate to whine about it.
