Spring arrived. Attacked the snow Until bare ground began to show. Then threw warm rays of golden sun To finish off what she'd begun. The crocuses began to rise And birds that we could recognize As harbingers of vernal birth That rejuvenates the earth, Began to fill the air with song And hunt for nest sites all day long. Then, as sap rises in a tree, I felt a stirring deep in me, To spend my time outdoors and roam In circles farther from my home. The need to savor every hour, Learn the name of each new flower, Listen, smell and touch the green That suddenly is widely seen. Too soon this season will be done, But in the interim, I run Like wild deer playing in the wood And don't do anything I should! Betty Lou Hebert |

Wonderful writing here!! I have to admit that I thought this was about basketball!! Sorry, that's always the first thing I think about when I see "March Madness". ROFL.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Well I hope now that you've read the poem, you're glad it isn't about basketball. I didn't even know there was a connection between my title and the game! Tells you what a basketball fan I am! Betty Lou Hebert |
