  • NEW ENGLAND WEATHER

    Mother’s Day weekend and snow blasts
    Are pelting the tulips while sudden gusts
    Of wind beset the flowering trees.
    A polar vortex surely seems
    To have us in it’s icy grip.
    What kind of greeting card is this
    To usher in a Mother’s Day?
    It mocks the merry month of May.
    Blasting violets and anemones
    Giving us the annual tease.
    Memorial Day could bring a frost
    We’ll wait ’til June to set out crops.
