March

the month begins
with Winter
and ends
with early Spring

the poinsettia
is still beautiful
and I think about
Easter lilies

longer days
of light and reading
new and old books
by a window

shadows
of icicles
on the calendar
and wall

Photos are by Karl. The poinsettia photo is from Christmas Day, 2018. The lily photo is from April, 2010.
