Parting shot for M lady Tania

sonnet in tetrameter

 

 

Parting Shot

 

Snowflakes dance like butterflies

before my disbelieving eyes.

I was prepared to sing springs song

But it appears that I was wrong.

King Winter has not fled the scene,

despite the new shoots showing green.

But merely waiting in the wings

to find a chance to upset things.

This has to be his final try

 he can’t rely on his ally.

The wind will change soon as it should

to a soft breeze to suit the mood

of spring who will repaint anew

The world that winter hid from view.
