Dying, Lying Croci
This year the Croci
may die cause they told a lie
saying it was Spring
what they said don’t mean a thing
for Spring arrives on Friday
and what the weathermen say
this year the winter just won’t go
and they’re forecasting snow

This is beautiful!

The seasons are all messed up over here too. 🙁

This was all predicted by the experts on global warming…

Yes, indeed.

Beautiful images and poetry. How dare those croci lie! No doubt they, too, will be sorely upset with the snow. I send you warmth.

Oh, I am okay with the cold but thanks so much for the nice words and warmth. Am kinda sick of snow though.

I bet.

I hope it’s okay with you, I shared your work on tumblr with links back to this page. Your work deserves a wide audience. You are truly gifted.

Of course, it is okay with me! It is so kind of you and such generous words!! I think I am on Tumblr but have no clue how it works or what it is. Thank you, so much, Kitt, for all your encouragement!! xx ellen

Love this!

Usually crocis don’t lie, Ellen, but seasons are really strange in the last years, even though we cannot complain at all. We had wonderful sunny weather, 15 degrees C, blue sky, wonderful. Thanks for your mail, will answer soon, have a wonderful day, warmest regards Mitza

Global warming! I’ll look forward to hearing from you.

I’m just sitting here to write to you, Ellen, warmest regards Mitza

Just got your email– will write someday soon. Thanks for the jokes! Warmest regards, Ellen

Our seasons are all messed up too – it’s colder today than it was in most of the Winter. Hope you lose the snow soon, Ellen.

Where are you? Seems lots of people are having strange weather. Thanks for stopping by, Richard!

We’re in London, UK – cold again today!

Just checked in the park. The croci survived the snow! Hope you warm up soon. We are in the 30s F going soon to the 50s.

Very nicely said. I love the use of nature to provide lessons in real life.
Nice Ellen

Thank you, Yisraela, just a little nonsense poem.

Sad story… the unpredictable factor in Nature, maybe the great extended Croci family will have foreseen this possibility, hopefully, and return renewed next Springtime. It’s so good to have a feeling from your posts of the seasons changing. Here it’s just like one very long day…

Yes, life without seasons would be a difficult adjustment but a simpler life. Love the transition from summer to fall and used to love winter until it became a time of sickness for my husband! Quite a few people have written about the seasons being screwy. The warnings about global warning are coming true. Even our arctic winter. This, too, was predicted. What have we wrought!!
