Flowers in April

I'm a little late posting this. But a few weeks ago it snowed after two weeks of warm weather.

It snowed today
not a remarkable event
The weather does not impress me
Even as the grass turns green 
and the azaleas bloom 
I know they will die again next year
But today I wiped the snow 
from the lid of my charcoal grill
opened a beer and lit the coals
The snow on my patio melted 
uncovering the yellow film of pollen 
and I was reminded that spring came early 
this year and there will be no flowers in April.

Aloha James, this is breezy writing like this easily flowed from your pen. The weather just happens the flowers will cope as do we. The last line seemed quite sad. Izzy

Thank you, I was a little seeing all the azaleas blooming early, but they are still pretty now. Thank you for the visit

[Island Hippy]

You're welcome

The weather is very confused,it seems.Nicely expressed;-]

[James]

Yes, it was confused this year, but I didn't complain much. how often do we get to go to the beach in February?

and since an April has just started, i would say a beautiful remark for this month.

this year and there will be no flowers in April.

Your last line kind of hurts...it reflects pain or may be a disappointment.

[James]

I think a little of both...right now they are full, so we'll see

[jacob erin-cilberto]

a lot of that happened here too...early spring and then frost killing everything...

sometimes in life we get things too quickly, the instant gratification...and when we lose them there is no getting them back...impatience can be a killer.

Nature so often passes us by
taken for granted for all that is beautiful within its essence
I like your style
its pretty casual

[James]

Thank you, casual is good description. I'm glad you liked this
