Cool Promises
the last four
days it has snowed unseasonably cool
although it usually
does in april just a reminder winter has not finished
just a little more
to say sometimes it snows in may ….even as late as june
but melts
quickly this morning the sun sparkled on crystals
nature really has so
much in her bag of tricks a cool mountain stream
when you dip your
toe in or wade in to catch a fish my kitten is cool
asks for his
breakfast or to go out or to come in
on a hot desert
day the sun blisters ah... the coolness of the shadows
the coolness of the
colors found there blues, purples and violets relief
refreshment a sip
of cool water sometimes words are cool
the opening of the
poem by gwendolyn brooks the pool players
“we real cool” ending with the words “we die soon”
what the young think
is cool is just old hat to their elders
who have seen
more hopefully know more don't fall as easily for cool promises

I love all the cool and beautiful wonders in nature. Loved seeing all of these in my mind's eye as I read your words. Love the ending...yes, what's cool is old hat to us, but still pretty awesome.
