Spring Knows.

Fay Slimm.

Spring Knows.

Tomorrow's plants curl in frozen patches
as snow-mottled clouds
hang unseasonally low over east-winds.

Surge of change has entered air's passage
as Spring, Winter-dazed,
sluggishly pushes awake greening things.

Lifeless and naked upstanding iced vines
shivering fruitless
dream of times full of graped ruby juices.

Nothing is wasted to rile nature's mind,
no move uncertain,
objectives defined, new becomes rooted.

Cold it may be but Spring knows its duty.

    Lovely work - spring appears to be with us - certainly here in middle England - about 10 different species of flower now in bloom in the garden - but beware - only about 16 weeks and the nights start drawing in.

    Can't get here fast enough. The resilience of Nature is truly amazing. Beautifully described here in your poem, Those "greening things' are indomitable , and "Spring" is duty-bound. Loved it - Phil A.
