First day of Spring

Inspired by the first day of Spring 2012 and the uncertain Future of Tim Tebow I've wrote this poem.


Worm in the spring
A worm springing out of bed and smelling the air of birds chirping and dogs barking at bugs means spring is here outside his window
Springing out of bed while losing an hour of sleep on Daylight Savings time and on the following Sunday making pancakes for the family
Skipping on drowning the pancakes in syrup and having to keep yourself awake with a cup of coffee means that spring is here.
Putting long john’s away like I was Long John Silver searching for loot feeling wet in the sea wearing jeans as I try to grab as many pairs of shorts lying around in a laundry pamper of 1 year worth of dirty clothes and having to show off my legs like a super model wearing shorts is a sign of Spring has ruined my sense of style.
Feeling sick from bronchitis or the flu keeps me feeling dead in the bed of winter as the only way I can get sick in spring is the pollen count and might have tko feelings of being dehydrated.
Opossums getting road killed on Glenway Avenue when the sun rises from the cold winter when raccoons were killed on the same roadway when snow turns into icy slush as the worm on the side of the road hopes not to be next.
Love is in the air for people who live like bees making honey from spending time with a sunflower as many people have the buzzing feeling in their heart as dead trees give way to unpatrolled beauty as the worm feels jealous.
Cutting the wet grass as children get creped by caterpillars and creepy crawlies crawl through wet grass as we walk or run through the years and squashing them under our shoe without warning
Feeling like the worm trying to sliver to find a new home in a new batch of mud so I could feel like a gummy worm feeling cool swimming in a mud pie desert feels so much better than feeling hot trying to escaped hot dirt trying to swim trying to find cold water but instead I get lifted airborne and eaten by a Cardinal and become fed to the hatching birds in her nest is another sign spring is here.
Spring has arrived and now I have to clean out my room before Spiders and other insects get any ideas of sneaking in uninvited to my house thinking this is early summer as in the winter all of them were hibernating from the dreary cold of winter like bears do. As the worm misses out on life …bare everything from winter to baring almost nothing at all as.
