Spring Tease Here in New England We are impatient with Winter's stern hold, so eager for Spring we mistake hints for advances. Like a sly fan dancer Little by little and bit by bit, Spring reveals herself Only to retreat and tease us even more. Each day we wait impatiently Hoping to see all of her tantalizing self, Until like Venus she emerges From a foam of flower petals

Spring Dance Tricky Spring, Blows hot, blows cold, Fools us all and makes us scold! First a sweater, Then a coat, Then a scarf to cover throat! Next the sun Will make us hot, Shed it all and sweat a lot! Slyly, Spring You fool us all, Not unlike your sister, Fall. Still we love you, Just the same, Even though you have no shame! |

Glimpses of Spring The new light of Spring Shines on the rain wet road: Sparkling sheets of brightness. Trees lining its side Wait patiently for leaves; The sap rises slowly. Spring beckons me To trade my winter mind's endurance For exuberance. Not as patient as the trees, I want to run, jump, sing Fling my arms wide and embrace The dancing light before me. But it runs away down the road.
