Not Quite Spring Here in Winnipeg!
Not quite Spring here in Winnipeg!
Plus temperatures,
wet pavements
are a tease.
Tires still spit specks
clouding windshields,
camouflaging speeding cars
on dirty gray city streets.
I long for
– slivers of light green
transforming bland lawns;
– yellow dandelions
pushing through muck;
– swelling buds
on wan skeletal trees;
– blue/mauve lilacs
scenting dusty air;
-warming sun
thawing my bones;
– cumulus clouds
cushioning bitter musings;
– a blue vault of heaven
lightening my heart.

Posted at 02:04h, 21 MarchThis is a song for the coming of Spring,
We’re tired of Winter, so let’s all sing.
After a Winter of snow and ice,
The first signs of Spring are really nice!
Sidney Shapira ’76
I wrote this and a few more verses in 1981 when I was teaching my first class of grade 1/2 students.
