An Ode To Spring

Image

 

Winter hath tyrannized and tortured with weather

So cold, so abrupt and so cruel.

The sparrow hath not sung, hath shown not one feather,

One shirks at the thought of a pool.

The chill and the frost, thinketh itself clever

Whilst children gawk through the casement.

Have we been betrayed

Perhaps Spring hath been slain

Perhaps it does hideth in my basement.
