You never met a man who loved my town.
As I much as I did.

the blast of Winter's cold cased it in ice.
Its mighty power adjourned by season's chill
and useless now, it rests until the thaw.

A blizzard piled the snow in massive...

We left the barracks in mid-March,
With snow still on the ground,
Drove two days across the border,
To participate in a multi-national event,
Commemorating the World War II atrocities,
The Japanese called Death Marches.
Our soldiers, sailors, and airmen,
Were marched...

Thunderstorms at night...

Upon a silver slate sky
of alabaster and aquamarine,
floats a formidable flotilla
of charcoal-colored clouds.
And on this mild, melancholy
mid-March day
they dawdle, dribbling drops of rain
in sporadic Spring showers.
Winter's white wonderland,
seasonally salted with brindled blotches,
magically melts away,
revealing rough-woven,...

After two months in his new office,
Trump signed many executive orders,
with people protesting everywhere,
mid-March was a bit like a nightmare,

Turbulent weather and conflicting news,

She was Ruth, their only daughter
Set out one day to roam the globe
Instructed to the nth degree
Dressed with a flare of exotic
She was cultured, had travelled far
A lady of society
Affectionately loved her folks
Though their advanced...

Mr. Robin arrived on Spring's early Tide
Of mid-March born to a chill wind born

From his wing dropped a feather
Foretelling milder weather
  Yet those slants of ice in the air
  Hunger pangs, mealtime's prayers

dead 
February it took my hand, never misled 
In mid March I had many adventures to

April I started to use ink instead of lead

May was a new dawn and...

Come lift me high, higher through your flowers,
Let my senses pour over your timeless leisure
Fresh night the wind chimes of nature heaps,
Softly and tenderly buds  start to unfurl ...
And russet fields parade their tassels

I can sense it now
Less away than a quarter-turn on the wheel
Just two warm    bright days
And the sense is of coming spring

But things are at their ugliest
Dirty snow
