I do hope your Mommy’s and my love of writing will some day
become a love of yours too. If
that happens El, then I also hope that your Great-Great Grandmother Mundy’s
talent of writing poems peeks a desire within you to give that style of
creative writing a try also. For
me poetry is a fun challenge. You
see Spring officially arrived on March 20th, but you would never know it,
because Mother Nature will not let go of Winter! I think this is the first week of consistently nice spring
weather so let’s hope it stays!
This picture was taken in late March!
Final Thoughts: When frustrated, happy, stressed, or
sad write a poem in the moment of your emotion.
Then just like that, thoughts and words pertaining to the
seasons began entering my head. If
you remember my January blog on New Years Resolutions Ellie, I made my own
resolution to pen more poetry this year.
And since the computer makes erasing a lot easier I quickly started
typing all those thoughts and words that were swirling around in my head,
changed a few, and rearranged some others, until I finally had a poem that
captured my emotion. Oh, and
Ellie, the cool thing about poetry is there are no rules… no sentence structure
rules, no capitals and punctuation rules, and no grammatical rules. You get to create your own rules to fit
your poems personality!
So here is mine:
Spring Has Yet To Be Sprung
Spring has not yet sprung
Although it has been trying
Winter’s been procrastinating
And a tad bit defying!
The sun wants to warm
All the earth to sprout to
green
But that nasty northern
Vortex
Has a strength of mind: to be
seen!
Every once in awhile
You’ll see a blossom rise
But then the temperature
drops
And we’re in for another
surprise!
A whipping wind to chill us
A flurry here and there
Oh Winter, you’re quite
determined
To push back the Springtime
air.
March is soon to leave us
And April’s around the bend
Oh please, oh please Mother
Nature
Tame your wrath and let it
end.
I can hear the birds a
calling
As the rays of sun push
through
The days are getting longer
And the earth’s canvas needs
a hue.
You’ve done your job of
cleansing
And getting rid of all the
old
It’s time for you to
hibernate
And ease up on that winter
cold.
The Spring season and its
rebirth
Has quietly begun
To awaken our earth and body
So Winter… It’s time to be
done!

Ellie, your Mommy has already had you out to a few parks and
riding your bike.
And I can’t wait
to join you! Let’s catch some
fireflies and eat ice cream in the backyard! Even in my temporary frustration, I know the consistent
spring weather is just days away and I am excitedly looking forward to spending
it outdoors with you and Will!
Mimi
