Emile Pinet Poet Triolet

A Land of Monochrome

The lamb of March morphs into a lion,
and with a roar, Winter asserts its might.
As the Pleiades flee from Orion,
the lamb of March morphs into a lion.
Late flurries bury the dandelion,
denying shoots warmth and essential light.
The lamb of March morphs into a lion,
and with a roar, Winter asserts its might.

Denying shoots warmth and essential light:
Spring's earliest blooms may wither and die.
Winter's reign is almost through, but not quite;
denying shoots warmth and essential light.
Red-breasted Robins are a welcome sight,
as tepid breezes summon them to fly.
Denying shoots warmth and essential light;
Spring's earliest blooms may wither and die.

As tepid breezes summon them to fly;
flocks of migrating songbirds head back home.
Yes, they're coming, not a word of a lie,
as tepid breezes summon them to fly.
Unaware that March tends to go awry,
they arrive in a land of monochrome.
As tepid breezes summon them to fly;
flocks of migrating songbirds head back home.
