Notes About The Poem

We have a lot of Poplar trees lining the streets in our town and when we have strong winds it breaks the limbs and they come crashing down across roadways, sidewalks and even cars left parked along the side of the streets.

The End of March

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb;
At least that's what they say.
Here in Alberta it's blowing a storm.
Mother Nature's having a Hey Day.

March came in rather quietly,
Here in The Great Northwest.
We've had some winter weather, true,
But she's been all in all a good guest.

Today is March the twenty-ninth,
And the wind is a howling banshee.
It whooshes past the windows,
Blowing limbs off trees.

The wind is a roaring tiger today,
No peaceful little lamb.
I pull my robe4 about me,
My ain't Nature grand.

I'll drink to that last line! -- a coup of hot tea with lemon and hope that my red throat and raspy cough get a little better. ~ Albert from Alberta (Purely fictional, of course).

JB, it was a beautiful sunny day here in northern Kentucky, although a bit chilly. Spring is definitely in the air. I hope you are not hit with a fallen tree limb! Enjoyed your poem.
