Unspringly Spring

yes, i know unspringly is not a word...if e.e.cummings can use greenly...i can use unspringly :P

Oh selfish trees! Egotistical trees!

Clad in mocking bridal white

Courted by the amorous bees

I gaze at thee with No delight…

By yonder window do I stand

To dash my heart against the

Sparrow’s song sung for his mate…

Sinister double-edged sword!

And think of him from whom

I was torn……………………
