March

March is a sovereign
As she blows her winds, trees bend
Reluctant to leave
Childly clinging to her reign
Happily Spring rains on her

Love the "pun" in your beautiful Acrostic, Dear Ann. The word "sovereign" is so cleverly used. March is gone, still we are shivering..Beautiful poem! Hugs ~ Mala

I'm afraid Earth hasn't given us her due yet. Everything seems more extreme. Thanks for commenting.
