MAY not be Spring MAY 8 2017
The weather is awful here there is no sign of spring
The birds are disillusioned they won't even sing
It's the eighth of May and early plants have been lost
Two and three nights ago we had many hours of frost
The skies are cloudy and dark the sun has rarely shown
The grass has not started growing and has not been mown
The nasty a winds have knocked the the crocus and daffodils
And the iris has barely shown its leaves because of the chills,
There is a reluctance to dig gardens from Cairo to Leeds
And think of the coming harvest by sowing plants or seeds
I looked up to the Catskill mountains and do you know?
The top of the mountains are covered with new snow
Quite a different story from the month of February
When they had no natural snow for the city folks to ski
