March Madness

This morning the winds were eighty miles an hour.
The rain lashed down, Nature showing her power.
Now, an hour later, the sun shines so bright
Casting down her warm rays, a beautiful sight.

Our moods change as the weather these days.
One minute we're rain, the next, sunny rays.
March has come in like a lion, true,
And we hope she'll go out like a lamb too.

Winter has left us frazzled and stressed
And we're ready for spring when we're at our best.
Enough of winter, of storms and snow.
For winter and our bad moods, it's time to go.

I hear you Francine. Nice descript of nature and related emotions.Spring shouldn't be too long a wait for you.... The robins left here from my home in Florida last week. They are on their way slowly but surely.

I like your poem and yes we have had enough of this cold and yes we are still in the deep freeze here in Sask. We feel the stressed out frazzled feeling without the sun. Good luck on the contest. God Bless Phyl
