Spring3

March 26, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Spring in honor of the March equinox, or the coming of spring, which falls on March 20.

Today’s poem is about how quickly spring is gone.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Spring surprises us, no matter how

Prepared we are to revel in its bloom,

Returning far too late yet far too soon,

Instantly from bud to blossoming bough.

Nor does it wait for us to take it in,

Gone to green before it well has been.
