There's a Kind of Hush

Lorna



Shhhhhhh.... the ground is sleeping

Pulling up its cover of snow

The squirrels are creeping

The birds are silent

They do not sing

While the garden snoozes

Yet again

Loses its hope of Spring

Retreats under blankets

Winter's last prank

Good for lovers

But a tired game

A little lame

No laughter

Till Spring can prove itself

The Master

              That hush will soon awake into the glory of Spring.

              • Lorna

                I believe you......... I think we've turned the corner!

              • Accidental Poet

                Yes, Spring is running a little behind schedule. But I'm certain it's well on its way. Love your poem, the Carpenters and the Squirrel.

                • Lorna

                  It was a wonderful "only 3" storm AP! A lot of fuss over nothing - but I guess other areas really got it........

                  • Accidental Poet

                    Yes, hope others got through it alright.

                  • Laura🌻

                    Yes, Lorna...
                    Spring is on its way!
                    It’s waking up time!
                    Enough sleep!
                    Love the pic and
                    your choice of music!
