Reason To Believe


 Run!!!!
 



I swear I truly hate this vine..
it's everywhere ( just blows my mind)
To get around Her is not wise
(Un-Lucky people get her prize...)
If your allergic it's no joke
you can catch the rash from smoke..
it's a nasty thing that's hard to kill.
why did God give that plant free will?
She clings to pants, a coat or shoe
Even cat's can bring her home to you...
If you don't catch it," lucky you..."
you'll never feel the way I do...
but if you see it please be kind..
and kill every single vine you find..
salt will kill it ( bleach will too)
pull up the roots, it's up to you..
as long as you remove the vine..
you'll always be a friend of mine..
And,don't believe that winters touch
will keep you safe from Her clutch..
She's just as wicked as before
( without her leaves she might be more).
She's a Nasy thing anyplace ,any time.
leaves of three, i hate that vine...

 Happy Easter Week.......I Think..
 

well, everything was going just fine
87 degrees, and Spring on my mind...
flowers was blooming,i heard the frogs sing
bees was buzzing, I sure thought it was Spring...
I washed up my shirts, with out any sleeves
and sat in the sunshine, nieth apple tree leaves...
A neighbor was mowing,I could smell fresh cut grass
then Mother Nature ( Let's just say showed Her ass)
She couldn't resist, one more little fling
with Old man winter, She said "Hell with spring"
she knew she could call him,and he'd run to her side
today it's 30 degrees and it's snowing out side..
they say it will last, all week,and it's cold
this on again off again thing's getting old.

 Spring is Here.....
 



while out
and about
I saw signs
of spring...
I heard
spring sounds...
I felt
a warming
of the earth.
a turtle
crossed the road.
baby cows
and horses
stood in the fields...
the trees are budding.
the grass is turning
a bright spring green...
frogs are singing..
fish are jumping....
yes,
spring has arrived.
Mother Nature
gave up
on her love affair
with Winter.

 March Madness....
 

I don't know about you,
but I caught Cabin Fever
when walls feel like their closing in..
when i'm not laughing
I sit around crying
I've got March madness again....

I took winter quite good
( well, best that i could)
and now i'm ready to change my lifestyle...
March is such a tease
telling winter to leave
then bringing Him back for awhile.

Although April's her Sister
she's not one to tease
In showers is how we will see her
She don't care if we got
cabin fever or not
She'll give us all a spring fever...

 A Journey to spring....
 

This is
the time of year
when things begin
to happen.
one must watch
closely
to find
the signs
of spring.
each new day
the sun
warms the earth...
things start to stir..
the smells are different.
the sounds are diferent.
It is not hard
to see spring
bursting through
the clutch
Of Old man winters
cold, icy, hands...
first the earth
will lay out
a green carpet...
as buds on trees
one
by
one
burst open...
then the flowers
Will push
through the ground
and seem to be
yawning......
awakened from
a long winters sleep...
they drink
fresh water
as April showers
dance around them.....
I love the sound
of tree frogs
as they sing
a song that says
winter is over..
I Anxiously
await
their
performace.
