Mother Nature’s flirtatious ways.
Lightning flashes, crocus buds,
lilac blooms that scent the air.
Dew droplets on pink rose petals,
fall colors as she bares her leaves.
A silent caress of soft falling snow.
Most audacious of her alluring ways?
Her cunningly sly, seductive wink.
Unlike a camera aperture’s click,
more like a Texan gal’s slow drawl.
Her alluring, magnetically titillating
total eclipse of the sun.
NAPOWRIMO Day 4. April is National Poetry Writing Month!
Prompt for today: “Craft your own short poem that involves a weather phenomenon and some aspect of the season. Try using rhyme and keeping your lines of roughly even length.” Sorry folks: I don’t do rhyme. But I did write about a weather phenomenon: a total eclipse of the sun.

You’re right! Spring is just like Mother Nature flirting 🙂 All pink and pretty and in your face and then she’s gone – poof! Enjoyed this, Lillian.
