Lady Spring Defiled

Pure Lady Spring

Keeps her from getting dressed

In his cold grip
He holds her down
Unwilling to surrender

Perhaps next month
She'll be released
And we will know her splendor

Thanks, Chris. And, no offense, but I REALLY hope we do not get snow in June! :)

It's normal in Oz... but I remember a June day in Maryland too. And of course no offense taken!
