Is It Robin O’Clock?
Is it robin o’clock?
Is it five after wing?
Is it quarter to leaf?
Is it nearly time for
spring?
Is it grass to eleven?
Is it flower to eight?
Is it half-past snowflake?
Do we still have to wait?

It’s Time for Spring
My sweater’s tight and
itchy.
My snow pants are too
small.
Last week I lost a mitten.
I can’t find my scarf at
all!
My woolen socks have lost
their toes.
My boots have lost their
tread.
And I have lost the love I
had
for words like “skis” and
“sled”!
But … my fishing rod still
fits.
And … my baseball bat
still hits.
I have a kite that wants
to fly.
So … Winter, call it
quits!

I love the bluebonnets blooming in the Texas hill country. That is my favorite part of spring.
ReplyDeleteMy garden is a spring garden - full of things that flower and smell. So that is my favourite Spring thing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing here in Japan is walking along the streets under the cherry trees, their scent filling the air and the petals falling and drifting like pink snow.
ReplyDeleteTulips are my favorite flower, after roses, of course! What I like about tulips is the hardiness and the assurance that there is life after snow. In spring I decorate my house with tulips, real, silk, and quilted. Tulips also represent part of my family heritage.
ReplyDeleteCute block and boy do we ever wish it was Spring already! Kathy Aho in MN
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see things turning green and popping up from the ground! That's the best part of spring! Not having to wear a down jacket is my second favorite part.
ReplyDeleteI'm posting this for Margaret D from Scotland: For me the arrival of the snowdrops in mid-February reminds us all that Spring is just around the corner. I love crocus which attract bumblebees and tortoiseshell butterflies out of their winter sleep on warmer sunnier days. I love the nodding yellow daffodils' smiling trumpets and petals. But most of all, I love being able to go for a walk when it is sunny without having to wear skin protection or a sunhat, just put my face to the sun and get some well-earned Vitamin D back into the old body!
