Blooms Unrealized

The 30th of February brings

Sunlight to the Adirondacks again.

New tears fall, conjuring an ocean from a pond

Because spring has forgotten to bring the 

Promise of new beginnings,

Instead settling with winter’s sharp thistles. 

I watch the writers put pens to paper, 

Drawing the flowers that don’t bloom. 

So this is what the poets prophesized, 

The pond that has become an ocean

And an answer that is in the question.
