Spring is here, although you can't tell by all the snow being dumped on the Canadian prairies right now.
Last week, before the snow, every single member of my poetry group, coincidentally, brought a poem about some sort of dead animal. Death isn't often associated with spring. Usually spring is connected with new life, birth and rebirth. But leave it to writers to try to twist and challenge society's standard associations.
Poet gillian harding-russell writes: "Spring is an uncovering of old wounds."
If this is true, it's not that hard to connect spring with death. Although, death goes with any season.
