'The Fly'

By CookieZeal

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What is this stuff - icey rain turned to snow in the middle of March, anyone know? Just as my tanned knees delight to go bare that ol'crazy North wind plain doesn’t care! Nope- it flips me off with its whipping cold kills the tulip as it starts to unfold. Tell me dear God, is this only a test? the plants are confused, and I am a mess! Won’t you send me a sign that this will end - very soon before arthritus sets in? Uh oh- but look! there’s a fly on the door and where there is one there must be some more O glory- for once though they come from decay, this least favorite insect has just made my day!Written March 27th, 2002 © on Mar 27 2002 02:51 AM PST, M.
