A Taste of Spring

I wore a branch against
my face as knees bent but not
enough beneath the
wind and its slap of force

through the strength of
this stinging willow
seemingly waiting for some
unsuspecting soul
to wander on by---and it was I.

Put a smile on my face this morning Richard. Woke knowing all is well with the world. Your willow twig brought a refreshing slap to the platform at Weston station. This is a small world.

Good morning, PT. It's -9C AND 8:45 AM. Thank you for your own nice pick-me-up comments re my poem. A willow twig smack across the face does the same, eh? Cheers and Chimo (Inuit for Friendship) along the same lines as Jewish "Shalom". Richard LP
