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

As winter retreats, spring arrives with all its beautiful manifestations ! The cusp between winter and spring is beautifully caught in your lovely lines Michelle !

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~
