Spring-ing Ahead

100-Word Challenge: Hidden

 

This is my submission to Velvet Verbosity's 100-Word Challenge:  Hidden.  

 Mother

 

Obviously in a bad mood, she glowers, all dark storm clouds and frost.  You might never guess that deep within, hidden from sight, a warm heart beats.  

She’s not always like this. If you catch her on a good day, she’s all smiles, their touch soft and caressing.  She rises in the morning glowing with good cheer, ready to spread her warmth on all she meets.  Her sunny disposition is like a salve.

But not today.  She’s been such a grump lately, keeping a cold shoulder turned toward most everyone.  I’m not worried, though.  Spring is just around the corner.

And while we're on the subject...

Haiku in Green

Green grass springs skyward

Out of Winter’s frozen womb,

And hope is reborn.

Green is the color of March at Theme Thursday.
