Authors note: Do you remember those days in spring that were so warm that you truly thought maybe summer is here? Well I do. My inspiration for this poem was one of those day.The kind that made you really truly believe spring is over, but then the next day the rain and storms are back.
Misfit days filled with warm summer air
No more snow to cover the ground,
a layer of green grass is revealed.
Yesterdays sunlit earth--
Replaced by the dark and dreary sky
And misting clouds above my head.
Gentle waves press against my feet
Taking steps across the warm sand;
Ones I could not take the day before.
This back and forth motion between
Forces a false sense of summer,
Because now the ferocious wind is back.
This day will last in my memory
My footprints marked in the sand as proof
Of a flawless summer day.
