Waiting for a Butterfly’s wings to return Spring.
For if their beats can call forth Tsunami’s,
surely they can put a zip in the warm season’s step?

a sparrow’s last chirp
forecasted snow flurries
a week into spring
for dVerse Poets’ Quadrille #54: Zip, De Jackson pubtending
With Real Toads Waiting for ………..

Let’s hope the wing speeds up the warming. I gather the east coast is still pretty cold.

True Jekyll and Hyde! Another forecast of flurries, but 70 degrees F by Friday! 😆

Awe….I like the thought here, the sense of waiting for the small thing to cause a big consequence. Well done and thanks for posting to my prompt at toads!

I saw a funny post the other day that this year’s winter is like a friend who keeps storming out of the room, angry, and then coming back in and yelling, “And ANOTHER thing!” 😉
This is a great take on the prompt, Frank. I love that sparrow.
