Out Like a Lamb

March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb
       — English proverb

Any sign of Spring makes me sigh
        — Kim Rodrigues

OUT LIKE A LAMB

pink petals of confetti throng
the Spring tree eulogizing Fall.
snowy buds cling like upraised songs.
March first bleating breaks down the wall

of incessant roaring rainstorms.
the keyboard-roof is fighting back,
the lion napping, seeds perform.
Daffodils give Winter the sack.

You have made me hungry for spring, and winter is coming tomorrow in snow form!

I Liked the quote and your tremendous poem. I loathe winter. That's why I finally settled in California....ah, the weather. Green here. Can't live without year round green. Panagiota xx

Thanks. Putting oneself out there with a quote little scary...don’t want people to think I am full of myself. Just felt the want to do it. <3 Ya, precious one!
