March

A continuation of my month series.

A season for battles in times gone by,

Mars holding still and sounds the horn,

To war we go and kill all those lucky,

Take home the few to mill the corn.

Emily express our need for expectation,

A search never ending in light and mind,

Gardening sulks and wines in this spring,

Clever writers bully those of simple kind.

A month dedicated to bed's and pigs,

Very beings to rest and eat bacon,

Prayers last for times on times in time,

None hold back and we are forsaken.

Saint David holds true and never lies,

The third in all of us to savour hold,

March you darling budding space in year,

Now Mothers come forth to sooth and scold!

Author's Note

Honesty in the year!

Its beautiful.... The victory of war for one and death for the other.

Loved the 2 stanza a lot...

"Emily express our need for expectation,
A search never ending in light and mind,
Gardening sulks and wines in this spring,
Clever writers bully those of simple kind."

Definitely a certain "Irishness" comes through in this poem, in the respect of the past, the feeling that the wheel of the year is rolling, always changing and always the same. I appreciate that.

"Sooth and scold" seems to be a good way to describe the dual nature of the coming of the springtime.

Uh-oh, Thomas...
~~ I'll never look at my birthday month the same again...!!
~~ Born a country girl, loved the stanza about the beds and pigs and bacon...!

Keep Smilin'... Jax

"Clever writers bully those of simple kind." I hope no one in this site gets offended by this. :)

I like the idea of writing a poem about months. Some of the significant events described here are foreign to me, though. Must be my sheer ignorance.

A very worthy addition to your series. I did not know David was a patron saint associated with March.
Learning every single day. :)

Indeed, thank you x

The month of new life. I discovered Saint David, but could not find an Emily. Lovely poem as always, and a great puzzle. :)
