March marches in--mild but cool

a cardinal
complementing
the camellias
~~
Saucer Magnolia
Arkansas' 'cherry blossoms'
gracing the Capitol
~~
warm March Saturday
writing in the front porch swing
squirrel and birds distract
~~
breeze turns to wind
unfurls my journal pages
moves the windchimes
~~
beak full of dry grass
the bird drops it and flies
could a cat be near?
~~
midmorning in March
neighborhood finally stirs
except for my sons
~~
waking up grumpy
the teenager now singing
as he showers
