Springtime Cheer
Of all the seasons in the year
Spring’s the one that gives me cheerFor longer days and a brighter sun
That melts the snow when winter’s done
A good riddance to winter strife
A pleasant welcome for new lifeFor maple syrup on my plate
Croaking frogs court a mate
Wild flowers erupt in bloom
Sweeping the garage with a broomFor the birds’ safe return
Cleaning the boat stem to stern
Firing up the barbecue grill
As Mother Earth sprouts daffodilsFor the child with bat and ball
Who runs the bases and does not fall
All teams begin in first place
With visions of a pennant raceFor the bunnies who hop along
Beneath the robins who sing their song
High atop a cherry tree
Where blossoms burst in majestyOf all the seasons in the year
Spring’s the one that gives me cheerDavid Ritter

BOTTLED MEMORIES
These stand-alone poems were written over many years. While individually they describe the conflicts associated with alcoholism, when read together they reveal a more complete picture of the destruction, depression, and chaos of addiction, as well as the peace, hope, and joy of recovery. Although most of these poems pertain to my life, it is my hope that other people will relate to them also. It’s not only my story but the story of so many others.
