March Green

March green leaps where winter shrinks Clouds retreat as robin songs link Gray bark leaks yellows and pinks When lilac eyes of springtime wink 3/03/22

The lilacs at Brandon Castle, or in Malmö, Sweden, are the unforgettable aroma of Spring! Enjoyed, Michelle! Aloha!

U did it again Lady Michelle: 1. Pithy poem, pregnant with promises of birdsong, color & hope 2. You turn to my Page when readers leave like south-migrating fowl. Question: in New Hampshire, I looked for first crcuses. You? In Maryland & Virginia, the sunshinyvForsythia made my heart glow. It'll be a year before I return

I haven't been to the northeast, but we have a tree in front of our house that has barren branches all winter, but as the spring comes in, tiny pink buds start to appear, so that is what I look for! Thank you so much for your warm hearted comment, Anil, appreciate it deeply~

Oh, those 'lilac eyes!' Much better than 'Bette Davis eyes,' methinks. Here's to Spring! ~ Gershon
