Winter's Reprieve...




A short reprieve from winter's chill,
a false spring shining like a diamond
sparkling before my eyes.
Even the trees seem to feel it,
waiting but none too patiently
for the burst of color that marks the season.
Smells like spring when the rains come
and leave the air fresh and sweet.
Smiles abound wherever you go,
shorts and t-shorts replacing down coats
and  winter boots.
This suits everyone fine 
but i'm he to remind you 
that Old Man Winter still reigns,
he allowed this respite as part of the game
he plays to keep boredom away.
Soon, all to soon he will remind us
that when our world turns dark before six
he still has a few tricks up his sleeve
