L'aura del Campo

March 21, 1962 [117] ...as much as this Bard remembers

March 21, 1962

To the east of choppy Lake Eerie,
Michelle L'Éclair marks her tenth birthday
with candles and cupcakes
and gifts topped with snowflakes
from her friends dressed as pink polar bears.

It's the first day of Spring
and the Winter's last fling
on the shores of snowy Lake Eerie.

I grew up with Chelly LeClair and her birthday was in March. The rest is fictional. But Lake Erie does NOT allow Spring to have her way until May... maybe June.
