March

Melting snows begin to fade As a newborn season arrives, Refreshing our lives grown dull. Cradled in green budding leaves, Hushed by the winds of spring. Written on August 10th, 2015 My birthday is March 4th, 1983

Cleverly done ABC delightfully arranged and rendered. Your phrases flow together so well it's impossible to tell it's a particular poetic form. Well done Kelly! Best wishes, Keith

Thank you so much, Daver... Yes, we have to get through autumn and a long, cold winter before we feel the warmth of March again. The month is always a welcome sight!

Congratulations, Kelly, on placing with this March acrostic. I now live in Florida, so March is no longer as important as it once was.

I know what you mean, John. It seems like only yesterday that I graduated from high school, but that was 15 years ago... My Mom always says, "You are as old as you feel and age is just a number"... Thank you for reading and commenting so kindly, John :)
