An Ode to Spring (not…)

It’s spring —
Really?
Someone forgot to tell
The drooping, budless forsythia, dogwood, and cherry trees,
The lackluster trees and sadly slumping tulips
Blame the weatherperson,
Who promised something better
Than the inches of rain flooding my basement.
And tomorrow?
Back to the snow we didn’t have all winter.
Such is the world,
A backward, forward, upside down mess
That makes no sense,
Just like spring …

A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker, and a few things in between. And so that road less traveled has brought me here to follow my dream and my muse.
