Oh Spring

Oh, dear, Pia...you sound a bit like I felt this afternoon. We had about six inches of snow in just one hour and my granddaughter was supposed to be coming to open her birthday presents. I was really disappointed she couldn't make it.

Snow is beautiful, as you portray so well in your poem, but it also has its downside too.

Hope the sun comes out for you tomorrow;-)

Hi Pia,

never mind it will not belong before spring and
summer come around again, then you will be able
see this snow as just a memory.

Hope you keep warm.

Grown ups have different priorities. Kids just want to stay off school. We haven't had enough snow to be sled able but enough to disrupt. Puppy has only has a short run about and a short walk and is a loon. Puppy and kitten ganged up and took some lights off the tree.

But yes I dont want to break a bone either. Our local A and E is such a drag.

I saw on the news that Great Britain really has its fill of snow as well. I'm sorry about your granddaughter Tina- what a pity. Seems the climate change has shifted the weather belts a helluva lot.
Thank you for reading and your kind comment is much appreciated.

I'm hanging on for Spring and summer Jenny. Don't know why I just can't enjoy the moment and the prettiness of the snow. It's a bit sad actually.
thank you kindly for your encouraging comment and for taking the time to read.

Camilla- dogs and cats will frolic- even your puppy in the snow. Glad someone is enjoying it. Maybe there will be more so you can get your sled ride

Snow is beautiful, but can be a pain as your poem expresses. Maybe we get too caught up in one and not the other as we get older? Who knows, but Santa.

Yeah Celticman- I bet Santa knows a lot about snow. I saw him last night and he manages very well with his sleigh. Lucky guy. It's my first white christmas in a such a dismal mooooood- I think it is age as you imply- shucks and bugger

I think this poem works well Pia - you've conveyed the lack of joy - not just about the snow - very effectively

Thank you Insert and thanks for the cherry

Children and animals live in the moment, what a shame we lose that ability, I love snow for about 24 hours, then it becomes horrid, Hopefully the snow won't last too long for you.

Shoe- it looks as though the snow has come to stay.
thank you for reading and commenting

A highly original piece, Pia - not a cliche in sight, yet this is still beautiful. Well done on the cherry :)

What's left of the snow on my return home is now piled up in a grey mass with fag butts and litter sticking out of it - this poem works for me, well done Pia and congrats on cherry.

Yeah Fatboy- it has been thawing here too with lots of burnt fireworks in the remnants of the snow. But it is a while until Spring. Thanks for your lovely comment.

Yes Kahdai- I was a bit sad when I wrote it. Thanks a lot for reading. Appreciate your commenting.
