March Madness

March came in this year, like a wet feline, 
Growling and mad without a sign
Of the sweet pussycat  that she can be.
I wonder what made her so angry.

Winter won’t leave yet, Spring wants her turn.
March, caught in the middle begins to yearn 
To be a month with no change of season.
Her stress causes me to lose my reason.

So don’t blame March if within her reign,
Everything is wild and a bit insane.
Winter wants his turn and Spring must wait
Until he is going out of the gate.

It is then you will see a swift turn around
With sweet March smiling without a frown.
The sun will shine and skies will be blue
And to this March madness, we’ll bid adieu.




For Carolyn's contest  won 2nd place

I love the way you personified each season and related it to the stress you feel in your own life, Joyce. Congratulations on your second-place win! Love, Carolyn

I don't see a change, but this one was fine, Joyce. Even stress related to other people's lives is acceptable (had one on this and it was very good). But there are some poems that have nothing to do with stress in any way. I think I gave this contest the wrong title. My bad. You good. (Words from me to you in Native American lingo -- I can hear the Lone Ranger saying this to Tonto.) Love, Carolyn
