Gene - Made me feel spring in spite of the weather. We had snow flurries in Georgia yesterday and a frost last night, but it's in the mid sixties
today. Your imagery is great and accurate too in:
the wind doesn’t know it yet
the sun can’t make up its mind
to shine
or sulk
the rain keeps raining
birds are flying
backwards
pines are doing the hoochy kooch
Liked the hat and Pluto too, but I don't want to quote the whole poem.
The last lines have a perfect rhythm to express the optimism of spring. I could feel it in my heart. - David
With the first hint of spring I am ready to drag a lawn chair to a sunny spot with a good book in hand...and all is well again. With your delightful humor you make us all happy, Gene...
I had to smile at the last line though it still brought that slight tinge of sadness.. how often are we afrsid to even those four words? But I have to say the smile overshadowed that wee bit of sadness..but you can have my share of corned beef and cabbage okay?
Love this piece!

I've had moments like this. No reason for being happy but there it is. Maybe it's expectation of something on the horizon. Caught it like a ball in a glove, Gene...
You & Voltaire are the biggest optimist's or was that opticians, well whatever you are DAMNED right bout the wind, Rufuz & I near got blown into the ocean in Strathmere today...least though I am really clean, got sandblasted...Ed & Rufuz
Gene,
'Pinch Me' has the touch of ages, a lovely light pen full of joy and promise; especially like what the pines, the nuts, your hat and the ocean are doing, and the last two lines bring a broad grin.

Where would you like me to pinch you? Lol, loved your poem Gene.
Let's keep on moving forward toward Summer, that when it's really awesome to be alive and kicking!
Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"
it really is, all in the perception -- isn't it Gene - and just exactly what did you say your glass was full of? -- this is a wonderful upbeat piece for the gloomy downbeat folks -- thanks for sharing what has to be the best perspective for us -- peace and love-- Jon Michael
Lol, oh my this sounds like today here in good ole PA! Thanks for the smiles and chuckles in these lines in particular...
"birds are flying
backwards
pines are doing the hoochy kooch
the nuts I scatter
are outrunning the squirrels
and by now
my old hat is orbiting Pluto."
BRAVO, LOVE 'EM! Much enjoyed my visit here today!
