A bright and sunny start - the month of March

It's time for buds to form on spruce and larch

The birds that soar and glide look out for food

And seagulls with their calls enhance the mood

The mornings cool and brisk - they promise much

If coming season could be full of such.

We humans fill the space with loud machines,

Electric tools and trains and other means,

Improving the surroundings our desire;

The action is dynamic, 'till we tire.

Keith Pettitt.
