Sprung From Our Lawns (POEM)

Years. Without a snowstorm to suffice.

Then snow came and came in a year

where the snow wouldn’t then go away.

And We the Children cheered!

Snow unlike snows before. Snows before,

that knew their place. And time! And late April

was a time. And North Carolina was the place.

Snow there grasped the ground and the grass

as if it feared a permanency to its demise.

As if it had never heard the tale of Frosty.

And how he’d be “back again someday!’

But then an orange, a lavender, a yellow crocus

Thither and yon sprung from our lawns.

And soon after, amidst a patch of croci stood

Just the prettiest little white-spotted fawn.
