You can't fool me
I know better
30 some years of Cleveland winters
teach you a thing or two.
Spring flowers
poke up their heads.
Those fools.
Lake Erie's fickle nature will soon dash your pretty heads
with a foot of snow and slush.
Trust
in your instincts and those feelings in your bones
pack up your sweaters if you must
Punxsutawney may not have seen his shadow
but we still have more winter to come.

Effloresce
Beyond the great wall
Our hearts wait to be opened
Like gates we protect
Seedlings from harm and nature
Soon spring into full blossom.

Springtime Leap
You’re leaving today
On an aeroplane sling shot
Aimed for the galaxy
Train ride through the countryside wasteland
Of forgotten dreams.
We all freeze
Here in the in-between of your comings and goings
I remember the last time you left
And all the changes that followed
Just like you said they would.
Seer? Wizard? Comical mystic?
I know not of your unearthly powers of observation
Your ability to deduce illusions for the smoke-and-mirror tricks that they really are
I often wonder what has you fooled
If anything.
You’re off
Into the great unknown
And I
I wish you joy.

A Trick of Spring
It's springlike outside Sprigs of green Pushing through unfrozen clods of dirt Everything coming alive before its time. So hard to hibernate - with a lack of snow as sunshine erupts through white clouds coloring blue skies and this month we call January. My brain knows better This land should be colder and wetter. My bones should ache My toes and fingers and nose should be stiff and froze. They aren't. I shall not be fooled, oh Cleveland weather gods! I know your wrath is coming And we shall be digging ourselves out still in April.
