Announcement

Backblip, posted Dec. 20.

Just about every year
in the Season of Drear
I await early notes
of the doffing of coats.
At the end of November,
not even December,
these red canes announce
Winter soon will be trounced.
Ye scoffers, take warning:
It ain't just global warming!
It's Nature's bright bling 
for arrival of Spring.
