Blue skies clear
not a trace of clouds
or rain mixed with
sleet in the forecase,
a winter special
seldom seen in
these here parts of
east tennessee...
lower sixties are
the temps of the day
we spend most of
light outside in
t-shirts and shorts,
as if it were already
summer, trying to
work on our tans,
we plant no crops as
of late even though
the weather seems
to indicate we should,
past experience tells
us to wait, otherwise
we will be sorry...
anxious inside cats
look out the windows
and whine to be
turned loose... giving
us the stare as if to
say we are displeased
with you, butt they too
know when standing
in the doorway, smelling
the air that is is still a
premature time to go
outside and brouse,
