Notes About The Poem

March Middleness

March middleness is much too fleet,
coming in on a creature’s feet.
Is it the lion which brings it on
pouncing with a roar on my lawn?
Or does it come with a lamb’s bleat?

Each March must swiftly meet defeat
when April brings her rains and heat.
There’s little time to think upon
                                            March middleness!

Spring Equinox is such a treat,
for blossoms bloom which smell so sweet,
then March’s middle time is gone
by then - its time is brief as dawn!
We long for spring yet barely greet
                                           March middleness.

April 18, 2017  for Dave Will's March Middleness Poetry Contest

The computer I am at right now does not allow me to scroll down 
through categories. That is why I gave the label "art" to this.

Charlotte Puddifoot April 19, 2017 at 7:11 AM ah andrea, excellent rondeau! the line "pouncing with a roar on my lawn" gives me a shiver - great personification!

Jennifer Walker April 18, 2017 at 5:14 PM Sad really that we can't keep March around longer. I love the Spring, green showing through the ground, flowers starting up, my azaleas beginning to bloom. The robins and birds showing up at the feeders. Such a lovely time of the year.

Judy Ball April 18, 2017 at 5:14 PM Andrea this is great. A winner for sure. Very cleverly done and love the pic. Excellent. From 1 to 7 this is a 10 God Bless and thanks so much for the much appreciated input on my "And God Gave Him A dog." JB
