Spring is Sprung

The first day of Spring, usually calendar indicated
was not on either of my two calendars
in April or May,Our weather change may have been
due to our current “Climate Change” as forecast.

Seems an imminent phenomenon that yearly,
Spring is the 21^st day of a given month.

The neighbourhood in which I reside
is usually a good prediction.

Autumn loudly speaks, turning off Walker’s Line
on to a 2-block residential street.
A local street ~ a tunnel of deciduous trees
becomes gloriously painted in reds and golds.
Jack Frost cannot be rivalled for such a beautious scene,
being the city’s most beautiful street.
Whether ‘drive or stroll’ we are mesmerized
by Nature’s paint brush ~ so colourfully artistic.

Mother Nature, without a calendar
turns Spring lilacs into mauves and whites ...
even the mulberry trees are dressed
in creamy-white blossoms tinged with rose
And when injecting fluid into the barren trees,
they soon embellish the neighbourhood
with tiny leaflets of soft pale greens.
What a Surprise!

My local street is now a green arbour
through which we can drive or leisurely walk.
Hurray for Spring!
And praise to Nature Majesty!
Hurrah for Spring!

So, on my calendars, I’ve greenly accepted
that May 23 is this year’s Opening Day of Spring!

The foregoing was written in May a couple years ago.
