Like a Lion’s loud roar
Shaking the barren tree limbs
From their sleepy core
Awakening season’s centers
To life once more
Then the Lion sleeps, time dims
March shuts Winter’s door
With Daffodil’s as assenters
And Songbirds galore
March leads a chorus of hymns
Life to restore
As Springtime rain mentors
March exits, no encore.
Like a frisky Lamb she skims
Toward the exit door
