Spring Poem by Kevin Scanlon
Spring
Spring arrives in typical bipolar fashion
With a warm hug and then a chilly rebuff
Like a gasp of love then a sigh of despair
Every flower lives under threat of a freeze
As old fascist winter can always storm back
For a day or two, but then it finally retreats
Surrendering the mornings and evenings
As its empire is conquered by summer.
A refined poetic imagination, Kevin Scanlon. You may like to read my poem, Love And Iust. Thank you.
Thanks Robert! I read an essay written in 1997 about spring that contained a phrase describing it as A gasp of first love and decided to steal it for my poem. Bob Dylan does much worse. lol.

Delightful poem observing the other sides of spring. Spring is welcome with all its sides.
