Spring breaks

IT is not the usual embittering,
Shivering cold winter, when
You place an order to your
mom for a hot cup of tea,
for you to invigorate for
the ensuing exams,
nor a reprieve for the
studious and lethargic
from the rigor of
classroom assignments
and corporal punishments,
as the sun’s rays gleam through,
the hope of spring break brings
joyous sprinklers to the parched
and dry, spring break detracts
you from the sombre past,
spring is a solace both for
body and soul, spring break
is awaited by all, as healing
is awaited by the most sickly
healing by meditation
and natural medication.
