from "While Passing Through"/Spring
Spring gusts—
trees bow and sway—
yes? —or no. —Yes? No?
Or maybe... Spring is fickle. Can’t make up its mind. Very imaginative!
hey, laurie! yes, fickle's a good word. we went from eighty degrees one afternoon to fifty a few days later. from around fifty as an early morning low to freezing as a low. good to see your name and comment—thanks! -glen
Such a beautiful picture drawn in this poem- - 'trees bow and sway— yes? —or no. —Yes? No? '

Trees bow to greet and spring is guest for trees and trees are guests for spring. This is a very brilliant poem shared here.10
Hi, Kumamani! I saw this through the glass in my French doors. First the trees looked like they were nodding. Then shaking. Was there a message? If so, what? Thanks for your comment. Blessings to you. -Glen

Hi Glen, Hope all is well with you. Spring is a temporary season. It comes and goes too, very rapidly. I like the way you have put the question Yes/No. Spring keeps us all guessing. A subtle poem, Glen. Enjoyed reading it.
hey, geeta! things are mostly well with me. as it happens my body's been fighting off a cold. otherwise things are good. thank you, as always, for reading and commenting on a poem of mine. all the best to you! -glen
