Harvesting the Cotton

It's April in Montana...need I say more?

  Harvesting the Cotton


Seasons must be different

in the land of heav’n above,

for it appears to me,

that they’re harvesting

their cotton crop this year.


I can’t find an explanation

for this white fluff floating down.

It just keeps falling on my roof-top

and piling on the ground!


According to the almanac

springtime should be here...

            (And cotton isn’t harvested

            in springtime in this sphere!)


I can’t seem to find an answer

why this white stuff has appeared…

(And I know it can’t be snow because…

It shouldn’t snow this time of year!)


This only leads to one conclusion

that I truly must declare:

It must be autumn way up there,

and they’re harvesting their cotton

in the land of heavenly air!

 

*Yesterday the snowflakes were about 1 1/2 inches in diameter!  I wish that I could have caught this "cotton" with my camera, but I couldn't get a picture that would do the snowflakes justice.

Cryssa - We had snow here in Georgia in April this year, too. Clever conclusion to what that white stuff was. - David

Dear Cryssa, I liked this poem very much, especially the last four verses. But by reporting so nicely you have in fact rendered justice to the snowflakes. Love Emile

Wow! And all this time I thought you might be referring to cotton wood trees. "Snow" oh yikes. Many hugs, J'nia

Some years back, too many to remember when, in the middle of June there was snow falling like Winter got it wrong, it was supposed to be a long way South of the Equator Line!
Picture of it? yes! but go and search among that bunch...

Thanks for the description of the snowflakes. That poem was delightful, just delightful, nice rythm and perky, clever. Be well, Kathy

Wouldn't mind some cotton balls of comfort - we are getting ashfall and smoke from wildfires, and have severe storms to look forward to come Easter - beautifully penned write of a Season in transition. Doesn't want to let go just yet ...

(((HUGS))) love and prayer, and God bless you, Karla.

Spring hasn't quite "sprung" there, eh? Poor baby; hope it comes to you soon; I know you're ready for some warmth, some green, and some flowers! Winter's hung on long enough! (The giant snowflakes do sound heavenly, though! :) ) Well done, Cryssa, and Happy Easter to you and your family!~

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. ;D
