MARCH
The ravages of seasons rage
no more in minds of toiling men
with welcome signs of change in clime
their heavy raiment hanging on
the rusting hooks behind the door
now March has come again.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this before the bad weather settled in - I suspect the heavy raiment isn't on the hook behind the door - it's still being worn.

May the March winds blow this Beast from the East away quickly otherwise I may have to put a long sleeved shirt on!
Good write Michael and fabulous painting.
I detest the cold and only wear short sleeved shirts from about July to September and dispense with jumpers from about June to October. Apart from that I'm with you - let's hope it goes away soon.
I've been reading about your bad weather Michael and so for the sake of your toiling men may it leave soon! Absolutely lovely painting - as usual! But this one is particularly cheerful!
Thanks Lorna - yes it's snowing as I type this and darn cold outside.
A fine write and pic Michael. Oh dear *gets that heavy raiment off the hook again*. Never cast a clout till May is out? Oh no, surely it will be warmer before June?!
How the itching? It's like a flea plague that cats may have!
Actually not too bad this morning - it's my warm raiment that does it.
Me too - me long johns! lol.
I blame Clement for this inclement weather. You seen him around lately?!
Yes - he,s lost his 'L' and he's got set in his ways
O MICHAEL ! You are the quintessential Englishman and therefore you should have heeded the advice of the BARD "Ye should nay pen a ode on Clime o' Hen afor ye see wha' the day brings !" A Hen is a Lady. Our long term forecast (S East) was for snow 'til Saturday ~ so my Poem 'n Pic today is ANGELA SNOW LADY ~ Love the Poem for St David's Day and abstract vase of LEEKS (sorry Roses) so I'll forgive you for being INCLEMENT (you can get tablets for it !) Yours BRIAN ~ SNOWMAN !
I get the tablets on prescription - actually this little piece was written several months ago when I was looking forward to March - and now it's here I'm looking forward to April...! Heigh Ho !!
HI MICHAEL ~ Please check my SNOW LADY and please add yo a verse to my latest FUSION on WEATHER ~ Thanks BRIAN !
Michael,
March has definitely come in like a lion! Thank goodness for your beautiful painting to brighten this first day of March!
~Laura~
Thanks muchly Laura - and I must paint more flowers - trouble is they're not my favourite subject.
Hello Michael,
A beautiful poem accompanied by a stunning picture.
Your poem and picture are uplifting particularly through this frosty cold period we are experiencing in the UK
Great write!
Keep writing
FineB
Pleased you've been uplifted. I've just finished decorating for the door and feel quite knackered so roll on the warmer weather. Thanks FB.
Love this paint.
Thanks m&m - it's looser than usual for me but worked out okay.
