Author's note: This piece is about how I feel right now. One day it is warm and I could wear shorts. The next day I had to wear jeans and a sweatshirt. In Wisconsin one day it is warm and it feels like Spring, then you wake up and it's snowing! This just tells about what I feel and what is kind of happening right now.
Everything was growing and producing
Spring was coming
Everything was turning from the gray dead colors into beautiful true colors
Winter has died
The colors of spring were ready to show
I watched the black ominous sky of winter form and change
Through the dead months every day the colors were grey and black
Then turned to greens and blues
They turned brighter and brighter every day
It seemed as if the world had a light turned on and everything was clearer now
Through the window I saw the flowers planted the day before
They were pink roses all lined up in rows
It looked like a delicate painting
It took my breath away
The next day I looked outside
I saw that the world was covered in a thin white blanket
My flowers were dead
The sky was dark
When would Spring be back?
Ha ha. I know that's really annoying isn't it, when it's snowing in spring well it is to me anyway. I really enjoyed reading this even though the transition where you never know what's going to happen has past. I really liked how you illustrated the excitement felt when it's the first day when you can wear shorts and then how annoyed or sad you are when there is snow on the ground the next day.
