These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Quatern: "The Days of Spring Are on the Way"

The days of Spring are on the way.
The blooms have much they'd like to say,
but watch out when the temps go south
for closed could be each tiny mouth.

When things go cold let's fully pray.
The days of Spring are on the way.
"Be strong, each blossom, nearing frost,
that progress made, it be not lost."

Unusual coolness in this March,
enjoy its rest 'fore summer's parch.
The days of Spring are on the way,
that dancing flowers in colors play.

Bid April showers' sweetness fall,
Resplendent gardens, wonders all.
We'll wait through ev'ry chilly day.
The days of Spring are on the way.
