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.

Jennifer Walker Date: 4/18/2017 5:14:00 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. Login to Reply
