Spring Rolls (Free verse) by Ranger

Spring rolls in, served on the new year's platter Wrapped in a pastry of sunshine and rain Containing a multitude of colours Strands of flowers And biting cold Takes a mouthful To savour the spicy aftertaste Of summer

Clever.

The word "pastry" ... just doesn't strike me as the right word, but I can't come up with something better, so maybe it is. "biting" cold... hmm not quite right with me either, but maybe that is just spring in Colorado.

The spring roll metaphor works to evoke the variety of weather, color and life of spring.
