--- 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 :)

Baseball? Is it baseball?

It was sixteen degrees this morning as I made my way to work. I may be ready for more temperate days.
