Walking in snow hidden

slippery black ice

Snow melts into mush, travel is dangerous

Rain constant so planting delayed or

uprooted plants sit in a flooded garden

Snow covers the plantings

Tree limbs full of buds

while lilies bloom, hyacinths and

red paintbrush make flag scenery complete

Bright flowers appear, warmed soil eager, refreshed

Sun’s heat helps growth for garden yield

Frost curled leaves, their colors faded

Chilled flowers remain

A few broken stems triumphant but sleet is too powerful

not giving in to the cold

while winds still freezing start the cycle again where I’m walking.

W3 Prompt #157: Wea’ve Written Weekly

MLMM Friday Faithful

I kinda sorta lost my cool, as it might be described, or a rant, possibly a sign of mental illness? I have an ongoing medical problem and it has become an all consuming nightmare the last year. In fact I would say that starting in March 2024 when I broke a leg, my health started sliding down fast. I kept my sense of humor, and I’m lucky to have it…but a few days ago I kinda sorta had a meltdown. Luckily I live by myself so any “special” words that were loudly said, was all to myself. A small outburst of frustration soothed the soul for a while, hopefully for another year.
