This month is waning almost gone
March winds are nipping at her heels
I see behind me dreams undone
This month is waning almost gone
I hope the pieces bare as stone
Resuscitate a heart to feel
This month is waning almost gone
March winds are nipping at her heels
Dversepoets.com the challenge is as triolet. 8 lines, the first, fourth and seventh repeat. The second and fourth repeat. Rhyme scheme is Abaaabab.
I found it a bit difficult, but fun.
I like the idea of the cold March winds pushing February away. Wind does seem impatient when it’s cold and blows faster than a breeze.

Thank you Frank! I think that may be why February always is cheated a day or 3. March is in a hurry!

I enjoyed you impatiently windy triolet, Mary, especially the image of March winds nipping at February’s heels. I do hope March isn’t too windy over here, we’ve had enough already.

And here I come and coming when March is already upon us… Today it feels like March winds have teeth just like last month’s had.
