The Schoolmarm
She entered into
A cool snobbish milieu
Dressed for battle

Spring’s visit was short
She danced with us all day
Til Winter struck back

Impromptu Visitation

Sunshine woke her
Spring couldnt wait
She conspired
She slipped past winters gate
And visited us

Abundantly appearing
Lawn full of robins
