Crocuses and tulips are emerging from the ground <br />Proclaiming that spring has arrived without a sound <br />From the gray of morning sky snow is gently released <br />The unusual sight is quite unusual... to say the least <br /> <br />The two extremes are hardy compatible…one would think <br />To this shocking quandary, Mother Nature gives a wink <br />Gentle flakes place a delicate kiss on each emerald surface <br />Destined to stay only long enough for a brief fleeting embrace <br /> <br />Like distant relatives who appear at the doorway unannounced <br />Tolerated and politely accommodated without being denounced <br />Barely recognizing features… what a surprise, sit down and visit <br />Eventually they depart… their absence won’t be grieved in transit <br /> <br />4/13/08<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spring-snow-4/
