I sit by the window
regarding the blackened bougainvillea,
comatose hibiscus and ruined roses,
my foot drumming to the beat
of a different March.
Not Sousa or Strauss,
but the pulse of an impatient Spring,
bulging with color and perfume and life,
eager to repair winter’s destruction.

I hate to see the winter go, but the spring is rather nice too. Nice poem! It was a great idea linking the coming of the spring with classical music. It makes sense.
