WINTER MAKES ITS LAST PITCH
this is today’s news flash
winter makes its last pitch
winter wants one more say
winter does not want to go
quietly
winter makes itself heard
in beginning of spring
winter steals dewdrops
from mornings of early April
winter replaces April showers
with assorted crystals and flakes
April stands down
but only for a moment
April lets winter
have its last say today
for tomorrow April knows
who will rule, who will reign
and winter leaves
