Spring in the air

Mud has a smell that’s
like waking up to coffee.
You know you’re alive.

Snowmelt

the constant dripping
nature’s tears of joy as she
sees her world reborn

Spring equinox

Days grow longer like
smiles that stretch wider as one
greets a long lost friend.

Ides of March

‘Beware!’ Caesar was
told. Like teens in horror films
he didn’t listen.

In like a lion, out like a lamb

What’s that mean? That spring’s
a dominatrix, whipping
March ’til it submits?

February thaw

Snow releases its
grip as small drops melt merge run
in noisy trickles.
