Signs of Spring

Like all of us, I feel energized and ready for new beginnings when the days start to lengthen and the cold air is not quite so biting in the mornings. Thanks to El Nino, this past winter has been so mild, I think we only had one night that got below freezing. Still, I'm delighted to feel signs of spring in the morning air and happy to cozy up on the couch and watch the winter Olympics in the evenings. I've recently made a goal to write something every day and thought I'd share a couple of amateur poems I wrote.

Blossoms of white

It's early February

And the tree outside my window

Is alive with busily buzzing bees

Every year, I think too soon!

You'll freeze your buds off

But nature doesn't listen to me

Thank goodness

Figure skaters

Moving in perfect sync

Gossamer and beautiful

A pair separated

From a flock of birds

But still,

Circling and pivoting

Gliding and flying

As one
