Darke County Senior Scribes...
An Ode to March
By Lois Wilson
Darke County’s Senior Scribes Poet Laureate turns her thoughts to
March, the month of mixed weather messages. This year, as in any year,
March could bring anything from a taste of the summer to come, thunder
storms and tornados or the heaviest snowfall of the year. About the
only thing we can count on is wind...
INFATUATION
March swirls in on wings of wind—
Blows an air on the budded bough.
Swept up in the spring whirlwind,
Lovers pledge their impassioned vow.
Foolish hearts! How could you know?
Fickle Spring borne on March’s flight
Frosts the bud she sparked to grow
And leaves you both alone tonight.

UP IN THE AIR
There’s a glint in the eye
And a bounce to the gait
Of the man on the street.
There’s a desperate try
To keep everything straight
By the girl who’s discreet.
The reason—
Windy season!
