better with tea and bird chirps

the moody afternoon
was so very “March” –

gusting about in fickle fits:

flipping, belligerently,

from jolly-sunny to storm-a-brewing . . .

and back

in recalcitrant damp chills

and imperious blasts that belied

the – periodically –

glorious bright, blue, azure sky.

and so:

I drank steaming cups of camomile tea

and noshed on chocolate chip cookies

and listened to

Mendelssohn's Spring Song,

with bird chirps

. . . defiantly . . .

dreaming of spring. 

notes:  Felix Mendelssohn’s Spring Song (or "Frühlingslied" – 1843-1845) WITH BIRD CHIRPS - is available on the Hennie Bekker  CD the Classics II on the Solitudes - Exploring Nature with Music label, and can be found on utube (sans chirps).

camomile tea is made from the camomile plant (of the Asteraceae family) that blooms from late spring through summer.
