Springing

The birds around here

are really freaked out,

their cries more like wailing than singing

 

“Hey, what is the cold

and this snow all about?

It’s time for the Spring to be springing!”

Author's Note

Stepped outside to put the dog out, and the birds were making quite a racket. Pretty sure this is what all the fuss was about... :)
