Ready, Steady, Go!

March weather can be all over the board in Minnesota. Right now winter prevails but the near forecast is for warmer temps, a stronger sun, and snow melting down to bare ground. But that can change with the blink of an eye. In other words, spring is coming.


Ready, Steady, Go!


Unsettled as a newbie player, messy March

careens between blizzards and ice out.


Produces sleet on Sunday then arranges

for a cookout on Monday.


Bounces between an open sun-roof

and cranking up the heater.


Pulls on shorts to skateboard one day but

laces up boots for shoveling snow the next.


Ricochets off pinball bumpers and tilts back

towards February before flipping


to win the bells and bright lights of April

with the maddening charm of the inept.
