Before the bloom
of leaves and gardens
rain must provide refreshment
for the awaking environment

Days extend while nights dim
as icy conditions abate
and snowbanks deplete
the glow of snowlight retreats

The air is light
as are the jackets
anticipation is on the rise
with plans to hatch a surprise

Festival season draws near
there is a call for patios and beer
new opportunities await
to mingle and associate
