I sit at the window sill Summoning for spring's till Of thickets of green mandates fill The procession and succession with frill All rise with new blossoms being a thrill My spring garden fitting the bill For the little birdies that mill With their pleas of a worms swill First, let's arrest the lingering winter chill The deliberating ill Citing that bitter bitter pill That sentences my grief's overspill With the last backlog of snow on the hill Of the icy roads that overkill Free my hammer from waiting still For the arrival of springs shrill And the exit of winter's will My eyes hold court for the first daffodil

When spring arrives here in Anchorage, snow and ice turn to slush, the blue transition from black and gray. and hibernating bears come out of their dens-not that I want to meet them. It's the time of year that the oven warms with an apple pie, and the aroma of summer is around the corner. This birthing never gets old and one looks forward as the child springs forth in all of us.
