March

an endurance test
this fickle month
chilly rain and
tempered sun

with spring in sight
winter lingers
not yet inclined
to set us free

the geese in turn
are far more hardy 
and off they fly
to northern lands

and early bulbs
can wait no longer
their leaves now free
to break the soil

we humans though
exude impatience
our coats and boots
still at the door
