Ode to Spring

This was written in March 2008, probably during an inclement period!

Ode to Spring 

Slowly, but surely, the days are a-lengthening
Perhaps now it’s time that the sun were a-strengthening.
Raining and blowing, the weather is bad,
In raincoats and wellingtons, Don’t we look sad!
Nothing is growing except some poor grass,
Gone are the signs of the seasons that pass

Sunshine, where are you? Stop playing your game,
Peeping out one day, hiding again.
Rain stop your pouring, we’ve had our fair share,
Inundate elsewhere, see of we care!
Nobody knows just where the sun shines,
Guess it’s gone walk-about, down to the ” Strines”

 

( “Australians”   local pronunciation……Poetic Licence permitting )

I was born in Bristol, went to school there and studied to be a childrens' nurse, obtaining my NNEB in '63 . My chief aim was to travel but my first job brought me to France where I've been for 50 years ! I lived in Paris where I was an English teacher at Berlitz until I retired, and now live in the South West, near Cognac. Photography became my hobby on retirement and all my walks are just excuses to get out there and SNAP !
