Our hearts rejoice tonight!
As Winter bids us farewell,
Spring makes her entrance.

Kalends
Enters like a lion
Nones continues the roar
We wait and anticipate Ides
Beware!

Spring is coming soon!
The signs are everywhere!
Song birds entertain.
The meadow is filled with life.
Longer days are mine to enjoy.

Sunshine ends the day!
February’s grand finale!
March winds blowing in,
Bringing the promise of Spring,
To the weary winter worn earth.

December’s days ending,
The New year countdown begins,
Such bittersweet times.

Snow!
So white!
Lightly falling
On the meadow,
Covering the walkway.
Children excitedly shout
“Snow Day!” as schools choose to close.
Traffic slowly moves on the highway.
It’s amazing how snow changes our lives,
And it’s just tiny snowflakes stuck together!
