Who Is Spring
written by Laura L Mays Hoopes
Spring is a teenager
Energy surging,
Wet and windy,
Filled with noise.
What a season,
Lively and changeable
Innocent and treacherous
Filled with roses.
Spring goes its own road
Takes no direction
Blows hot and cold
Filled with red noses.
Spring is a believer
Whatever you think
I will yield to months
Filled with summer ploys

So Much Hate
Whites against Blacks
Daughters against mothers
Sons against fathers
Brothers against sisters.
Why so much hate?
Where is the love for one another
Where the morals and the guidance?
Where is the unity and peace?
Where is the security and brotherhood?
Where is this nation headed?
When will be united as one family
When will prejudice and racism be erased?
When will neighbor truly love his neighbor?
When will Martin L. King’s dream come true?
It starts with the golden rule,
“Loving others as you love yourself.”

Laura, usually poetry about the seasons makes me shudder and takes me right back to Jr. High English class where we all tried to find words that rhymed with “winter” and “fall”. This poem is a lovely thought on my favorite time of the year. xo Liz
Wonderful, Laura.
I love the breeziness you talk about in the poem! Well done.
Timely and fun!
