I know I'm right.
Don't Call Me Stubborn, It IS Spring
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCXIII)
Does Groundhog Day begin at dawn, the veil
To yonder parting for a moment thence,
And closing oer fair hopes whose sheer suspense
Has perished likewise? Or does midnight hail
First notes where snow is forecast? which detail?
If I was not awake when heading whence
I knew but could not parse out for intents
Late Saturday, I shall not yield: I've bail.
Spring is not early but on time as t'were,
And haunting lea to dale likeas to woo
Fair life as buds emerge on cue, astir
On all sides in warm hours, and waltzing through
Now weeks of charming hints, til's poor
To say some rodent knows. LORD, I wait You.

How about Summer in the 70F's?!
Please Say That Summer's Cool, Too?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMCXIV)
Tis Groundhog Day at long last, whether thence
Phil saw his shadow, or did not, t'avail
Naysayrs or fainting hearts of fancied bail
I canna say, but here tis Spring. Ice hence
Is sheer, so sheer I've slipped ere knowing whence,
The "wet look" quite a faux thing. Sparrows hail
In cheery notes, the squirrel high up'd derail
Calm, scolding me, and geese honk in defense.
It's oercast here yet wears Spring as it were;
The fragile thought of life emerges through
These tripping hours where hope's faint but secure,
Despite the grey prognosis; say we knew:
T'will be a cold Spring. That's good. LORD, bestir
Thy tender mercies and redeem us too.

- Comment from author about the poem: Alright, my "take" on the freighted day long anticipated. There's nothing like a very cold beginning of this cherished season, but thus we have it. Enjoy?!

Beautifully worded and written, i have been told spring is on its way, yet too see it, Enjoyed the read, Thank you
You're too kind! Thank you very, very much! Thanks to your comment, I reread Shakespeare's sonnet, confirming my assessment it IS indeed Spring '25, despite the lies they taught us all. Thank you again!
