Premium MemberThe Ides of March

This week is bleak, the birds don’t sing
No sun, no rains, but greyness
Even the churchbells didn’t ring
Have they become atheists
The bellman and the bearded dean
And all the congregation?
In times like this to breathe is sin
No promise of salvation 
Can take away the truth it fakes
And like a stubborn stem
Grows through the slab, the truth condemns

Gaius Julius Caesar
was not a real people pleaser
he tried to set himself up as a monarch
but never made it past the Ides of March

‘Beware the Ides of March.‘
(Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2)


a week from Saturday is the Ides of March
perhaps I will stay home by myself
better keep an eye on the dogs though
they might have heard of Julius
and get some strange ideas

In with a Song, Out with a Measure of Silence

This day in early March sings
in a gust of wind it brings
the season’s change
life I’ve known rearranged

one day warm the next cold
nature’s changing moods to behold
when each day when I’m awake
nature’s tempestuous moods to partake.

Talk of the weather brings smiles and frowns
what goes up also goes down
and as we face our days of strife
the next

Premium MemberBeware the Ides of March

The virtues, sacrificed
  By muscling vices,
Lay dying 
Across the dusty crusts of Earth.

The sky, once admirably azure, 
Now bleeds dark streams of gray 
Above the sight of flying vultures
Flapping, circling in wait.

The Ides of March

The ides of March sing consideration
for widows who must accept that new name.
 
The guides of March bring realization:
 life, as it was, will never be the same.

The tides of March trace recalibration
as adjustments to the world we re-frame.

I confide this March in my Salvation.
Where do skeptics go in grief’s waiting game?
 
The offsides of

Ides of March

Named for the God of War but trickster is your nature. Each year you bring the prospect of spring. Yet your deceit hides that promise under your cloak of white. I should know better, but you understand how much I need to believe your promises. Beware the Ides of March. Julius did not heed the

Premium MemberMarch On

The ides of March are upon us,
With spring to follow closely in step.
    As we begin to welcome St. Patty,
    And all those Easter eggs lie ready to prep.

    Seen and heard is the madness of basketball,
    Collegiate craziness to never end.

The Ides of March

The Ides of March, oh woe betide
Twas on this day that Caesar died
Stabbed by his double-dealing men
Remorselessly, time and again.
Twenty-three times the knives were thrust;
Take care therefore in whom ye trust.

Premium MemberThe Ides of March -Edited Just Now

(I posted this and found out one line did not rhyme, so I had to adjust the second limerick)

That the Ides of March we should beware
is a quote which is not really fair.
Shakespeare wrote it; it stuck
and it now means bad luck.
Of its meaning few folks are aware!

The Ides of March used to denote
the New
