Oh, March

Oh, March,
You vagabond of trumpet gales
Swirling city trash
‘round tipping cans
Tugging
At fully outstretched flags
Ruffling Robin feathers
Jousting with Jonquils
Elevating
A hungry hawk
Howling
At the heels of fleeing winter
Lest it keep you
From a date with spring

Reading this poem excites me to think of so many upcoming events and the accompanying wind. I like this poem. I'll keep a jacket handy for some of the cold winds.
