Spring Clothing Poems 

Spring Fashion

                        Anonymous

They've switched spring on now

But, on some of our sets

The contrast is too high,

The volume was far too loud

As hastily uncovered flesh

Sports goose-pimples

Too proud to hide

And sun-glassed poseurs

Fumble in the dark

Like the blind

Each time a

A fleeting passing cloud appears

And fashionable shorts

Seem to be magnets

For that sneaky wind

Which April's sorcerer

Kept up his sleeve,

Redundant raincoats

Sit at home and laugh

At our precocity

And sheer ineptitude.

Yes, spring's switched on

But we are not switched on

To her inconsistency.

It's Spring

                        by John Foster

 

It's spring

And the garden is changing its clothes,

Putting away

Its dark winter suits.

Its dull scarves

And drab brown overcoats.

Now, it wraps it self in green shoots

Slips on blouses

Sleeved with pink and white blossom,

Pulls on skirts of daffodil and primrose

Snowdrop socks and purple crocus shoes,

Then dances in the sunlight.
