Spring by Crystal Randall Barnett

September 6, 2022
Poet name: Crystal Randall Barnett Poem title: Spring Poem: It seems that the wind this spring never stops pushing its way into the body. It’s a reminder that at least some happiness is dependent on the weather’s generosity. Stiff breeze scrubs clouds like an old rag until the rain can’t help but tumble onto hurrying forms. Air like a damp cloth seeps inside, reddens the nose, makes it smell like winter when the dog comes in. End of poem.
