March Wind

This brutal March wind
that bellows and bullies
tearing through trees, 
and assaulting roofs

as it pounds against 
my window’s glass
and rips away expectations
of long awaited spring

Even as it brings frozen drops 
and sputters of snow
pushing trash cans
scattering life’s remnants

though I am forced to
hide under woolen blankets 
and stir the coals
of hickory logs

I bow to its greatness
and behold the beauty 
of its power

Jerry, you captured the essence of March, one day warm and sunny and then cold, windy and bitter. A Fav

Love the acknowledgment at the end --- and the harsh, bitter reality of the previous stanzas, Jerry. Longest month of the year for me. It feels as if March has 62 days...

Nature is well equipped to show her power, and there is little we can do to refute her energy. Living in New Orleans, I have been brutalized by it during many hurricane seasons. Well written, Jerry.
