Spring Rippled in

Spring rippled in this year sweet as a song,and I loved every minute of it. I didn’t even complain about the heat of summer. I took it all in stride, but at the thought of winter, I dread the cold winds while the temps are still in the 90s.

Spring Rippled In

Spring rippled in on a warm emerald breeze

Capering,dancing, pulling on her leash

She breathed on meadows and fields lying fallow

Woke minnows and tadpoles asleep in the shallows

Old Sol came alive fiery and hot

Summer strolled into the melting pot

We wore our shorts, halters and crops

Climbed the hills till we crested the tops

We hiked the trails and swam in the pools

Walked the board walks and played the fool

We sat on the deck swinging in the breeze

Or lounged on the couch watching limpid TV

Long summer days were sweet as a song

Now the cool breath of autumn tells me they are gone

Emerald will change to yellow and red

Magenta and orange will raise up their heads

Her Majesty autumn will yank on her leash

She wasn’t cut out to be mild and meek

So pull out your sweaters, mufflers and shawls

The seasons will change in spite of us all

It sounds so forlorn but let it be known

I will suffer the wind freezing my bones

I will shiver,shake, complain and moan

And wish for summer all winter long

Very nice. I’m looking forward to the fall. The only drawback is that winter is right behind.

In my country, there is only sunny and rainy weather. Reading this poem, I feel that I experience spring.

Ruby your poetry is almost as good as your articles… I know articles take alot of work and research and poetry takes a lot of creativity.. but you pulled it off here too.. you are a busy lady.. but man does it pay off in terrific work Frank
