The Vixen
She woos with bouquets
of crocus and daffodils,
and serenades with
robin's sweet trills.
Her sparkling eyes
seduce and tantalize,
her smile a ray of sunshine
to a frozen heart.
Her victims,
so instantly and totally smitten,
Never see it coming.
Until she laughs,and slaps them in the face
with a cold north wind,
and the pelting of icy snow
awakens them from a dream-like trance.
And then, just as instantly,
the love affair comes
to a brutal end.
Mother Nature
Is such a vixen!
10" of wet spring snow and a Snow Day from school today!

ReplyDeleteWe have had very cold snowy or rainy weather also.
ReplyDeleteBLUSTERY! We still have the March lion but the April showers have come with it. A few minutes ago, it was thunder and hail. I guess you might say, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute and it will change"!
ReplyDeleteIt is blustery and cold in northeasternmost Illinois, too!
ReplyDeleteThe Love Knot block is new to me -- thanks for making a sample. I think that it would lose a lot of definition as a 12" block -- redrafting to 6" is a good idea.
We may have 10 more inches of snow by the end of today! I don't think this winter is ever going to end!
ReplyDeleteWe were able to walk outside on April 1, but yesterday warm but rain, rain, rain. Lots of flooding in Indiana. Snow is prettier but you have to shovel.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am one of the lucky ones (?) with 10+ inches of snow. I keep repeating-"this too shall pass"
ReplyDeleteThis is a great looking block

Mother Nature has been kind to us so far this month. Nothing to brag about, but nothing to complain about, either. Thank you for sharing my poem, Susan.
ReplyDeleteIn southwestern PA we are having lots of April showers, and possibly a little snow later this weekend! With all of the April showers, I am hoping for beautiful May flowers!
ReplyDeleteThursday was rain and drizzle. Damp and chilly. We're supposed to have sun this weekend with warmer temperatures. Woohoo! At least we skipped the storms.
ReplyDeleteSo far April has been an improvement although with lots of rain. My first daffodils have just started to bloom and the grass is getting greener here in Southern Ohio.
ReplyDeleteRain and sunshine....tulips starting to blossom while my daffodils are done for this spring her
ReplyDeleteUp in the 50s with intermittent sunshine...and lots of wind! Lose the wind and it would be all good! But I did get to hang out my laundry for the first time this year!!
ReplyDeleteWhere could I find any of these patterns?
