Student poetry: “Festive Waves”

Festive Waves

Fresh radishes and lettuce, garden to table 

Splashing in the pool in an 85-degrees sun. 

–

But not here, no, not here.

–

Whirling winds and rainy cold frosty mornings 

With pensive posts of “Worst spring ever.”

–

Let’s laugh though, knowing, spring’s mischief 

Cannot last, spring itself wants to be free with 

Freewheeling fun on fabulous festive waves.

–

Spring heals the human heart, for spring and 

The human heart are friends and spirits akin.

–

So, who is to blame for the shared misery of 

worrying weather and wayward wind?

–

Wicked winter hasn’t whispered for weeks. 

Mother nature naturally shrugs and winks. 

It’s happened before, impatient perceptions

Making it seem “stay inside” forever will last.

–

But the world is tilting and soon we will be 

Exploring spring rivers and lakes and streams 

With sun on the water, sun on the sand

–

Picking chanceably activities of the day with 

Soft jazzy eighth notes lighting the quietness 

On warm spring patios of pizza with friends.
