Spring kind of weather, it really is!

“In the Spring,
I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours”
Mark Twain

Spring kind of weather, it really is!

The grass, looking oh so green
It is finally that time, the time of spring
All them colourful birds, do so loudly sing…

But, then,
Out of the total and unexpected blue
Bigger than life, some of them football size
(honestly!)
Totally white and really cold snowballs
From the now greyed out open skies, start to fall

WTF?

Well, you expected a change in the weather
And, this, this is certainly spring kind of weather!

Super Women

“There are only super women in this world” Gun Roswell

Super Women

They come in all sizes
The super women of ages
Never stopping, always pushing
Always looking, ahead
Is the only written code
Taking care of others
Even if it sometimes
Themselves smothers
But they keep on
Going, going, strong
The super women
Of then, today, and tomorrow
There is plenty of sorrow
But sometimes smiles
Forgetting the vile
Breaking the glass ceiling
Others with the reeling
The sisterhood strong
Nothing with that wrong
With or without special powers
They erects invisible towers
The super women
My heroes
Your heroes
The only and true heroes
