Blogs of the days -- March 18, 19, 20, 21, 22

OMG, my plan to write a poem a day on this blog is faltering! Okay, so here they are, five poems (sigh). Count 'em down.

March 18th
we put away
no corned beef
we ate it

we threw away
cabbage
phew

we ate
cold carrots
for a late night snack

we fried
potatoes for breakfast
yum

St. Patrick's Day
escapes our culinary designs
for another
year


March 19th
Sunday
sleeps in
'neath mile-high
comforters
while rain sleet and snow
reigns

March 20th
Monday blues
Tuesday too's
Wednesday drowsy
Thursday pouty
Friday wake
Saturday break
Sunday muse for
Monday blues

March 21st
Spring Solstice

Balmy breeze
chase away the north wind
cajole waiting lillies
from their warm nests
tease feathery royals into birth
future plums of the summer
warm the laconic land
and bring
spring

March 22nd
Forty at dawn
forty-five mid-morning
fifty at noon
fifty-eight as the school bus
corners the street
sixty greens the roses
until
forty claims the night
