End of Winter

The wind blows through the lawn Winter’s last howl is heard Time to pull up the dead Last year’s bountiful crop Red potatoes ready Awaiting spring rain fall Checking on the weather For planting time to start 03/15/2020

Oh yes, the season of renewal so beautifully expressed, Alison. I was looking forward to it, but I didn't really know how much, till I read your lovely poem. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
