C.B. Anderson, US

 

 

Iambic Trimeter Quatrains   Rededication   The sullen days of winter Remain a galling splinter Within my thickened skin, So let the games begin! Though I’m inclined to focus Upon the blooming crocus, The loom of April fills My mind with daffodils. With every spring, an Easter, But will it bring me feast or Famine, as here I stand Examining the land? A blizzard of narcissus Is Christmas to my missus, And as she fares, so I, A mirror to her sky.     About C.B. Anderson, US   C.B.
