The Vernal Equinox,
Half light, half dark.
More light with each passing day.
Crocuses and daffodils pushing forward.
Bright colors showing through the cracks of cold soil.
Hopeful.
The parade of March Nor’Easters,
Number four marching in.
More wind and snow predicted.
18 inches predicted to fall.
Holding spring at bay.
Frustrating.

I enjoyed the structure of this poem: the naming of the thing, the final emotion. I also feel the frustration of the seemingly endless snow!
My favorite lines…”Holding spring at bay. Frustrating.” I could not agree more!
Did you see Dawn’s idea to switch the order of the poem to end with a more hopeful feeling? Great idea, but then I looked outside…..Still frustrated!
Amen!!
Well doesn’t this say it all! Fear – spring weather WILL come! I just reread your slice with the stanzas switched – it leaves me with a more optimistic feeling! In the meantime, let’s enjoy the beauty of a blanket of snow! Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea to re-order the lines for a new effect!
Love how you capture the frustration of our current situation. We are frustrated but hopeful.
