Spring, Poetic Asides

 

Spring 2026

 

Winter has been lazy

in southwest Colorado.

Snow appeared on mountain peaks,

but content to stay up there.

In lower elevations,

we haven’t even had to shovel drives.

What snow we had melted by noon.

 

Now, trees and bushes are greening up early.

The sun’s shining us into the 70s and 80s.

Spring flowers are making their debut.

But I expect at least one last winter blast

will cause robins, tulips and daffodils

to shiver where they stand.

But for now, I’ll welcome this early guest.
