Post #301<\/p>\n

First Day of Spring<\/p>\n

March 18, 2020<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whisperings<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Acrostic Poem)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Window sills maintain collections<\/p>\n

Hold timid living treasures<\/p>\n

In Celadon -green ceramic pots<\/p>\n

Succulents whispering across the rims<\/p>\n

Pretend to sprout prickly wings<\/p>\n

Each Aloe Vera wants a gentle flight<\/p>\n

Regardless of age or size<\/p>\n

Infused in sunshine of changing seasons<\/p>\n

Nourished sparingly with tepid water<\/p>\n

Given rest during lengthy winter vacation<\/p>\n

Succulents anticipate juicy arrival of Summer.<\/p>\n
