TODAY FEELS LIKE SPRING

Today feels like Spring.
Just a taste of things to come,
And just enough to 
Whet the appetite for more.
The pond that had frozen over
(Then gotten lost under
Tons of snow debris)
Now sits semi-exposed,
Showing off its soft surface and 
Dead branches and 
Patches of the future yet to come.
Windows are opened,
Jackets are shed.
My hair spends most of its time
Flapping into my face 
As I drive
Then sit outside in 
Bleachers at a lacrosse game.
It's March.
In New England that means
Four more weeks of
Snow in the forecasts.
But today --
Today feels like spring.
