Rain in December <br />where is the snow <br />the earth thinks <br />it is spring <br />as flowers bud <br />and morning birds <br />sing for life to rise <br />and gardens twitch <br />as southern winds <br />from the gulf <br />lap up the city <br />deep inside the <br />winter season <br />were youth is wide awake <br />and so are the rest of us <br />love doesn’t wear mittens <br />and a fat round yellow moon <br />sits on a fence drinking lemonade <br />humming the song <br />I’m in the mood for love <br />and spring shows up <br />for the holidays <br />and nobody wishes for snow<br /><br />Charles Lara<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rainbow-instead-of-snow/
