She teases us with promises
Like a coy maiden flirts unashamed
Under her spell we bow to her prominence
Enticed, drawn and completely inflamed
Her soft breezes touch our skin
Inhaling her breath leaves us delirious
As we cast off winter’s cloak alone to our chagrin
As we unwittingly take her most serious
Daffodils play along and dandelions dance
To her elusive sway and we follow along
Indulging in her persuasive romance
Who doesn’t sing to spring’s jubilant song
And May comes and whispers,“Oh yes, you may”
But turns vicious on us all with a cold snowy day

Those late snows can make one wonder about the faithfulness of spring. After becoming delirious we are unprepared for more cold. Good description of the general mood: “Who doesn’t sing to spring’s jubilant song”.

Spring is fickle alright, Mary! We’ve had lovely sunshine all this week, but we’ve been warned of a sudden drop in temperature on Sunday and Monday. She’s given us flowers but threatens to take our seedlings with a frost. I enjoyed your personification of spring.
