Signs of Spring
thunderstorms in the forecast.
an open window.
the possibility of wearing a skirt.
frosty at sunrise, warm by noon.
smiles all around campus.
using my umbrella, ella, ella…
raindrops on the windshield.
hanging up my wool coat.
goodbye, March.
the world is a little greener.
neglected snow boots.
hope.

Love the poem and especially this line: “using my umbrella, ella, ella…” Creative and cute! We’ve had a few spring days lately in NYC and I can’t wait either to have them here for good!
I never pegged you as the Rihanna type. But then, I do love the Theme From Shaft…
Spring has come…good bye winter!
Truly lovely. This is so refreshing!
Thanks for sharing your works of art…

Also, when there are baseball and/or frisbee games in the mud of the [guys' dorm] lawn. That always says spring to me…
(And I can never use the word “umbrella” without adding that, too…What a horrible trick that song likes to play…!) 
You’re such a wonderful writer…thanks for sharing this!
ps- the best part is about the umbrella…love that song!
Brilliant, Anna I love the fact that it is now the middle of spring! Hallelujah.
