March – 100 words

March 1, 2023 By Ellen

March

A yellow month

daffodils, dandelion, gorse

and the eyes of new-born daisies

little lambkins, blossom gutters and premature chocolate eggs

holly and Rudolph slip over the horizon behind

and it’s spring forward

into long shadows and

the smell of burning meat in next door’s garden

the buzz of distant mowers

but we aren’t there yet

it’s almost time for the great unpeeling –

ankle bone, toe knuckle, blue pale shin skin

if only the lingering threat of sleet would pass

an Indian winter, finding us cloutless, pounces

and for another year we are bewildered

betrayed and unable to decide what to wear
