Welcome Spring! Poetry Thursday

Who said Emily Dickinson wasn't the perfect gal to talk about spring?  ... something to cheer you... or fit with your not so bright spirit, as the case may be.

A little madness in the Spring
Is wholesome even for the King,
But God be with the Clown —
Who ponders this tremendous scene —
This whole Experiment of Green —
As if it were his own

-Emily Dickinson
