Spring Sprinkles

Spring sprinkles
Dot my shirt
The marks of water felled
The cool spheres tapping
On my face
Remind of fall
Just before the snow

But now that
Snow still melts
In clumps and chunks
Around my feet
On the north sides of buildings
Hiding in shade
And dripping slowly away

​Those sprinkles
Will soon turn to rain
The thunder will roll
Behind a flash
As pouring rain fills gutters
And lawns will be
Green with life
