My contribution will not be an original but Emily Dickenson who was so attuned with life in her little world and usually has something to say that I can relate to. I hope you do too.March is the Month of Expectation.
The things we do not know-
The Persons of prognostication
Are coming now-
We try to show becoming firmness-
But pompous Joy
Betrays us, as his first Betrothal
Betrays a boy.
... Emily Dickenson
Happy March!
ReplyDeleteNice to see buds.
May your days be full of sunshine and flowers.
Wonderful poem.

Happy March to you too Sherry. March is sure making a graceful entrance this year...so far.
ReplyDeleteI love Emily Dickinson's poetry! Although March (or part 2 of Farch) is interminable here. As Nancy says, it's coming in like a Lion--or a Tasmanian devil--here in Nova Scotia.
ReplyDeleteLove the poem, have not read that before. Beautiful buds. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteYou poor lambs Nancy and Jodi. I just hate that you can't feel the sun and the wind out of the south has been wonderful. Your time will come.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl.
Normally, March is a month of expectation, but this year all I expect is more snow - Aaaaagghh! Glad to hear that Luna is responding well to the meds.
ReplyDeleteThanks MMcD. My Grands live in WI and they are sick of snow too. I know you are up in that snowbelt that is tightening around the area. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful poem and it is hard to believe that it's march already! Shouldn't be too long before we start seeing the birds puring in!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I hope all you Northern bloggers will forgive me if I indulge in some 'pompous joy' over the March daffodils and iris.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fine poem for Muse Day!

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteGreat poem! I like the first line because it's so true...March is the month of expectation.
I wish you lots of sunshine and blooms.

Hi Mon@rch, we had our first Turkey Vultures and some Robins yesterday. Birds are on the march.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I have felt that Pompous Joy ever since finding the first crocus. :)
Thanks Mary, I hope to revel in the relative warmth until tuesday when it is supposed to snow again.
