It's Raining ... Again

It's Vancouver and it's raining again. The foliage is appearing and the early flowers are blooming. The garden is ready for planting. It's Spring. I love Spring.

Another Spring in the GVRD

Point Grey, just grey, the pale grey sky sits

heavy and wet,

filled with an atmospheric river of moisture.

Clouds drift down to the Cloverdale meadows

of newly mown grasses and bee-friendly wild flowers.

East Van Magnolias drop petals,

one

by

one.

Cherry blossoms burst forth

to a sea of pink rain drops

littering parked cars

on well-endowed Kitsilano streets.

Abbotsford tulips paint rainbows

up to the Coast Mountains;

the rain stops here.

Bright, unfamiliar sun to burst forth tomorrow,

interjecting joyful surprises

for just one day

in 30 of pale, pale grey.
