Impulsive Spring

when eager spring pursued a speedy path

dashed in without a thought of taking heed

hoodwinked the yawning bulbs to early rise

threw off that winter coat she did not need

enjoyed the heat of summer come too soon

in haste no time was wasted that's for sure

magnolia in silence suffered so

unfurled those blooms fell quickly to the floor

while frosted breath at night made all retreat

as snow surprised our eyes with rising dawn

all colour gone the outlook bridal white

our garden fair stood lovely though forlorn

yet blackbirds undeterred their chorus heard

a gift of song for all and unreserved

I swear that each time I watch the weather report I half expect some model almost wearing a skirt to look at the camera, shrug with question mark eyebrows and a scooby doo expression and dissolve into a cartoon.
I swear in the past week alone we've had at least fourteen different seasons and all of them have left me with the same expression as the weather reporter.
If only they merged the weather with wheel of fortune, the accuracy rating would go up by at least infinity 😊
And if only we could interpret the blackbirds song, what would it say... "Mum, the microwave'on the blink again, these worms are still frozen in the middle!" 😊

Ha are you talking about female weatherforecasters wearing a curtain pelmet Lorry,? I know what you mean about the fourteen seasons. So difficult to know what to wear swinging from long John's and woollies to miniscule t shirts like a bra top:) You know I think you are on to some think merging the weather with a wheel of fortune. Now blackbird talk, to understand that I'll pour myself out another large gin. All the best and thanks for persevering with this glitch filled site to come out and play in our playground :)

Yeah, those bra tops really chaff my nips 😊

[Lorry]

And yes, cat pelmets they're called here... Or some other word for cat 😊😊

[Chris Shaw]

My attempts at a sonnet of sorts. Pleased you enjoyed it. Spring arrived too early, my garden is suffering now.

I think we are on the far side of any snow surprises and it is our Ravens that make all the noise no matter the weather
Is there a beetle song about graven Raven misbehavin

[Chris Shaw]

Don't think the Beatles sang about ravens. Not too keen on them myself. I've always associated them with the Tower of London, that bloody period of our history with so many deaths. Life was cheap then. Good you've seen the snow off Dave. Thanks for checking this one out.

"Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly---all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive--"
Love the personification of the Impulsive Spring...
