Sitting here waiting

Waiting for spring

A sky the colour of dirty milk

Blankets the cityscape 

Skeletal grey

 

Our house, curated confectionery 

A dream in pastel

Life-saving orchids

Artful bastion against the gloom

Under siege

 

Bitter cold has bitten us with snow

This dirty laundry sky needs bleaching

One week until spring

I would like to paint triumphant landscapes on the windows

Or hibernate like smarter animals do

I think the anticipation in grey and cold just before Spring can make the arrival of Spring in blossom or warm sun on the face an emotional experience. Lovely ideas expressed in this around the wish for Spring. It's our Pick of the Day. Do share on Facebook and Twitter.

I agree, after all absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's just that the closer we get, the more impatient I feel! :-D Thank you so much for the pick of the day!

I like to have fun with Canva sometimes.

I especially like the humor in the final line. Great poem!

Sometimes I think it would be so nice to live somewhere it was warm all year round, but nothing quite beats the rush of pleasure when spring happens does it? Mind you, the grey and cold seems interminable this year - you poem sums it all up beautifully. Congratulations on the well deserved golden cherries!

hiberantion is good, painting on windows is good too, just make sure they're your own.
