Winter’s Death Rally

Winter came back

to try and reclaim

its dominance over the landscape

but I think it’s too late

the geese have made their return trip

and they have come too far 

to turn back now 

the robins are here

waiting it out

the song birds have started singing

their mating songs

and have forgotten their winter tunes

patches of grass

have already seen the March sun

albeit briefly

and will not stay dormant any longer

the sap has started running

to nourish the swelling buds

as the sun this time of year

has found the courage

to stay out a little longer

and shine a bit brighter    

this snow slides quickly

off  the metal roof

and the dog barks every times it falls  

for today Winter has won the battle

but it’s just a death rally

soon it will be exhausted

and quickly give up the fight

and slowly turn to mud
