The new season shivers and leaps
Over jetstreams like skipping rope.
We can only watch, winter weak,
As the season shivers and leaps
It keeps no promises, but creeps
Inconstantly from rain to snow.
The new season shivers and leaps
Over jetstreams like skipping rope
***This is my skipping, almost triolet for NapoWriMo, day 25.

Nice one, Susan 🙂
Thanks, Polly!
As soon as I read this I thought “bet Polly likes this one a lot!” Scrolled donw and she’s first comment. I like it too. Booooiiinnng! (That’s spring hoppping)
Hee, hee! I like the springiness of that! Thanks much, Holly.
You’re on fire lately
Thanks, KB. It’s a spring thing for me.
I’m very aware of the jet stream skipping around the planet. This makes me nervous. Thanks for the fine poem.
Thanks, Alice. Makes me nervous too.
Very Nice!!!
Thanks much!
no! I mean this is seriously wonderful! 😉
Thank you–I really appreciate that. I love the form, but somehow didn’t catch that nah-nah-nah brattiness of jump rope chanting. This triolet might need a second verse.
I would say that would be such an abrupt change of tone that you might want to consider it as a second poem – say part of a two poem set..
What a wonderful idea! That is exactly what I am going to do.
you’ve captured the action. nice!!
If spring has a voice, it is sing-songing up there, keeping time with its feet, making fun of us.
Perfect! Yes skittish spring!

Yep. Uncivilized, quixotic, unmannered brat that she is. I did go out and pick some chard for lunch though, which is early despite the quirky weather.
Yum! I am welcoming the brat in her this year. When the heat comes out here I wilt.:)
Oh, you do get the heat there. I am loving this brat, believe me.
to bountiful…
Yes.
to bountiful always skipping seasons.
Reblogged this on Nature’s Abhorred Vacuum.
weather forecasters should be so informative and entertaining
Smiling big here, Paul… Thank you.
I always thought that was a dream job–you never have to be “right,” and when you are not–you have no responsibility!
I hope it skips again soon, right into the season I love.
I know…me too!
I love the quick pace. The action mirrors your images perfectly.
Thanks, Audra!
