Spring to fall
#WritcoPoemPrompt39
“Changing seasons hark new beginnings,
Like the shoots of tender plants on a Spring morning.”

Spring rain rolls in so smoothly, it’s hot too.
The humidity is choking me when I breathe or maybe it’s my allergies. I can’t tell anymore.


I cough and I cough.
The air isn’t as breathable as winter air.
It’s heavy, thicker than the thickness in my chest that rolls around every spring.
Telling me that I’m running out of time like the rabbit from Alice in wonderland.

I check my pocket watch over and over.
I’m late, I’m so late.
I need to catch up to the season.

Spring is for growth; Winter was for sleeping.
