R A Ruadh

from the Kingfisher archive

Second coming


Spring does not exist

Oh it winks and flirts all right

But if you are looking for reality

Forget about it


Spring is smoke and mirrors

For a couple of days the sap runs

Then there is a week or two

Of frostbitten days and snowy nights


The lily sprouts have poked back under the dirt

Perhaps the crows joined the snowbirds

For southern sunny gossip

Leaving northern ears empty


At last comes the equinox

The resurrection

Longer days of seedling promise

It’s all about faith


I don’t know where the groundhog went

There are no paw prints

In April

Snowdrifts

Epiphany I wish I had a poem for you one that was lyrical and sweet  A poem filled with love and joy  that blossoms like flowers in Spring  ...
