Spring is fighting back
Powerful frigid north winds
Wintery black clouds
Spring is fighting back
Powerful frigid north winds
Wintery black clouds
Sleet headlong driving-
Spring rains and biting north wind-
Thaws outlast winter-

“Wild Turkey”

Old man winters wife-
Being overdue with child-
Last night delivered-

Dipping touch of toes-
Wading diving swim shivers-
Thrashing breathless heart-
Cool upriver breezes-
Chilling bones frigid retreat-
To warm fires and friends-
To all who suffer-
Disrupt in the good life path-
Ruining all moods –
Scientific fact-
That the opposites attack-
Bitter foils tact-
Queen of vanity-
Fiendly arguing nothing-
Of dire this or that-

Pencil by Lauren Pettit 2018
Torrents high wind rain-
Swells and troughs below chopped seas-
Face the stinging mist-

Days light grows steady
Thaws and rhythmic trickles drip
Converging creeks rise
To rivers flowing
Joining together crested
Darkened deep waters

Splendid daytime tints
Blossoming nature yearns
Stretching to the light

Quilling by Latinagem 2018
Berberidaceae-
Mahonia aquifolium-
Frigus pertulerit-
Northwest Oregon grape-
Genus of a holly-
Endured the long cold-


Beautiful bright blues-
Mixing firs and fair white snows-
Days away from spring-
