Spring Thaw
written by: Joyce Butler

Oh see me melting
frost-blue winter veins
stripped of ice and snow;
I look so strange
flooding bursting banks
of the river
Fish swimming under
see me
then shiver.
Water runs off mountains
volatile weather
Coldest forests on
earth – Siberia
Exceptional hearing meadows
night-time call of the Great Grey Owl
a first sign of Spring
