BUD: An Original Acrostic

The weather here in Massachusetts has been unbelievably warm this week. I’ve been wearing shorts and sleeveless tops and sitting out in the sun…and finally taking my granddaughter out for walks in her stroller. I really need the physical exercise! I have also been exercising my rewriting muscles and working on the final revisions for my Things to Do poetry collection.

Today, I thought I’d post a short poem from my unpublished collection Spring into Words: A Season in Acrostics. March is usually a gray, damp, and chilly month where I live. It rarely feels like spring until mid to late April around here. Spring arrived early this year. Everyone is celebrating!



Before I bust out of my winter clothes…before I

Unzip my snug green jacket, I’ll draw in a

Deep breath and dream of the warm spring days to come.
