It’s summer now

but I’ll tell you about Spring

Spring

that rambunctious little elf

thought it should flounce around

and act like summer.

Boiling hot

Wind whipping breezes that

Knock you sideways

people with blistering faces

and stirred up mad.

I was glad

when summer arrived

calm and stately

with a little rain and cooler mornings

Pretending to be nice

and then

then

summer thought it should

make up for lost time

and to show Spring how being Summer

was done

sidewalks melted

and even the sun wore sunglasses.
