Here Comes March!

Bumper crop a comin’

Tulips, their noses thumbin’

Crocus leaves are surely strummin’
in the breezes that are lately comin’

Makin’ pendulums of hangin’ pots
Checkin’ for damaged spots

I’m thinkin’ it’s time for huntin’
As there’s posies missin’

Fortunately they’ll likely be
Just a little east of me

Artificial they truly are
And hope they’ve not gone far.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Heh.Heh Sounds like you are good and ready for March to turn the brutal cold around and flowers are what takes up peoples time, not shovelin' snow out of the walkway. You've got lots of company, Virginia.

Structured as pretty as a Ming Vase!

Great read covering some 'homey' aspects of Spring.

Touch, but don't look

Thanks, both for popping in and reading. Thanks for your comments, too.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

March is here, but to me it just means more snow. Bit your poem made me cheer up knowing... Winter won't last forever

And today the yellow crocus are blooming!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
