Oh, It's Another Spring
Though people rarely agree on anything
or, if broken, how to mend it,
I suppose that most would now say it's Spring
but differ on how to spend it.
And what about the case of all
of those in the Southern Hemisphere
since for them it's only early Fall,
before a cold Winter could appear ?
So even if I'm not sure of exactly those to whom
I've got to thank it,
I think I'll just go back my air conditioned room
and get back beneath my blanket.
Not for me the romantic chase
or a daunting mountain climb,
even less a defiant voyage in space---
I'll just dream away the time.
Though, after a few such hours,
I may go out to smell some flowers.

Spring is one of the four conventional temperate seasons, following winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it will be autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. At the spring equinox, days are approximately 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season progresses. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, monsoonal or cyclonic. Often the cultures have locally defined names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe.
