Spring Rippled in | Authspot



Spring rippled in this year sweet as a song,and I loved every minute of it. I didn’t even complain about the heat of summer. I took it all in stride, but at the thought of winter, I'm dreading the cold winds while the temps are still in the 90s.


Spring Rippled In


Spring rippled in on a warm emerald breeze

Capering,dancing, pulling on her leash

She breathed on meadows and fields lying fallow

Woke minnows and tadpoles asleep in the shallows



Old Sol came alive fiery and hot

Summer strolled into the melting pot

We wore our shorts, halters and crops

Climbed the hills till we crested the tops


We hiked the trails and swam in the pools

Walked the board walks and played the fool

We sat on the deck swinging in the breeze

Or lounged on the couch watching limpid TV



Long summer days were sweet as a song

Now the cool breath of autumn tells me they are gone

Emerald will change to yellow and red

Magenta and orange will raise up their heads


Her Majesty autumn will yank on her leash

She wasn’t cut out to be mild and meek

So pull out your sweaters, mufflers and shawls

The seasons will change in spite of us all


It sounds so forlorn but let it be known

I will suffer the wind freezing my bones

I will shiver,shake, complain and moan

And wish for summer all winter long
