March is not spring (micro)

March is not spring
promised in seed catalogs
other places

here, it is unbloomed, precrocus want

a softening, finally naked
and waiting

    “precrocus want” – I love that! And you’re right, it lies naked, waiting.

    Oh, here it is waiting too. And I hear we will have more snow tonight. Sigh. I guess it will wait a while longer.

    March really doesn’t promise anything but misery, it seems. I like your poem ๐Ÿ™‚

  8. March is really messing with us this year.

  9. The thaw, the thaw, the ugly, wet, waiting, naked thaw. Soon the emeralds will be dazzling you! Lovely write. Missed you!

  10. March is a decisive being. Determined. I think. *smile*

    As I watch it snowing, AGAIN, I agree with your words. And love how much feeling you fit into the micropoetry form. Well done!

    It does sound wearisome – it’s been a crazy winter, upside-down season in most places. For us, it was too mild (and we live up in the mountains).

  15. March is a lovely month.. but no it’s not spring usually.. what’s so amazing to me is the return of daylight though… soon there will come the long light evenings … Nice to see you back in writing.

  16. March can be a bit of a challenge sometimes…. A lovely, thoughtful poem.

    and the March wind blows ..teasing with added daylight..I am ready for spring to arrive..

    True – March can be weird – it’s not spring here yet and quite fluctuations in weather really. Enjoyed the contrast you built.
