Spring’s Energy
By
D. Eric Herrington
Grass greens
deciduous dormant branches bud,
“Lean back and
scratch your back
Look up and close your eyes,
dream into my canopy,
Drift under my bough-laden shade.” Tree said.
Wind and storms calmed,
Sun radiated and spotlighted Spring on the scene.
birds chirp, “Spring is here!”
“My dormancy, and decay have finished!
I’m now rested up.” Tree said.
Nitrogen from decay has nourished and enabled new growth.
But everyone then wished for a Forever spring to remain.
Everyone danced and twirled
in blossoms and blooms eternal
but something was off
Blossom’s blooms were not as colorful,
not as bright and big
Some didn’t even bloom.
Spring’s energies were expended
not renewed from decay,
nitrogen was not replaced in the soil,
Leaf’s energy was not returned,
insects swarmed and devoured farmer’s plants
their pesky eggs not frozen by Winter’s brutal cold.
Now Spring’s energies are returned,
One of four acts in Nature’s play.

Things To Do
By Eric Herrington
@escherrington
Monday, Remember to request a new stuffy!
Tuesday, Remember to grab balloon strings and float – request cloud filling.
Wednesday, dream about stuffy.
Thursday, clear a space and notify current stuffies.
Friday, make a wish for infinite stuffies.
Saturday, do everything with my new stuffy, nap with puffy stuffy.
Sunday, repeat request.
Dragon Courage
By Eric Herrington
I’m sorry I can’t come and play
Maybe perhaps another day
Why?… Sob
See I’m injured and need to stay
No fear no worries here! I’m a brave dragon!
I will flap my wings over high mountains and glide over giant oceans
To see my Grandma today. No more dreary days.
