--- March ---

Can you sense it? it's coming.

 

March ... the door to spring.
On one side, winter howls
and snaps at my heels.

On the other side, green grass
lurches upward towards bits of warmth,
reaching skyward ... to light.

The pauses between warbles
and chirps grow more brief
as more birds return.

Smell that unexplainable
but unmistakable fragrance of
Spring ... soon.

It has arrived for us in the myriad of colors you have provided, so funny as I was just talking to my daughter about being able to smell the earth awaken, when nature exhales the blue breath of winter it's been holding...love this Creepy, love it when you write poetry :)

Now this was nice, I do love Spring, my favorite season.
Everything comes back to life.
Very nice poem
Loved it, refreshing just as Spring is

I can smell spring from here also! I like the optimistic feel of this poem almost as much as I do the thought of packing away the snow boots and parka for another year! well done.

I am sensing it and it feels great...until the snow came on again today...ha. But your lovely poem has brought it back for me. Thanks for that.

A refreshing piece.

We tend to be jumping back and forth through the doorway here in Utah. Today was near 60 and it is supposed to snow again in two days...Oh, but I do have the favor...

Great Write!

Yes, I can feel it, and I can smell it. I've been luxuriating in the little snippets of warmth that have been visiting now and again. I like the way you describe it in this.

For us, for me, March is all of spring, come mid April im wishing it was winter again, but im kind of hot natured, i get warm easily, i prefer being cold, i LOVE autumn for that reason, its always so mild and beautiful...

I love this piece.... it makes me wish our spring lasted longer...
