Beware the Ides of March: A Taste of Spring, Then Winter Finishes!

The last few days, taste of Spring
Alas, we all know, here's the thing
This time of year
It should be clear
Winter seems to have a way
Of sliding back into play
Just ask folks in the western USA
About the wild blizzard there today
We are on the warm side of the storm
That's good, 90 mph wind is not the norm
Or is it...the new norm
Warming energy swarm

Just found the first tick of the year
From dog or woods walk, unclear
So, a little chill might slow that scourge
Warm air and everyone gets the urge
To get down and breed
Spring, creatures feel the need
The peepers have been peeping
No reason to be sleeping
When love is in the air
Pollen and song everywhere
Yet the harsh reality, ain't no jive
Them bugs want to, eat you alive!

One big quake, magnitude 6.3
And, just now 4.7 in Chile
PNG and New Zealand also shaken
Not a big shock they are quakin'
21 volcanoes on the list this week
If exploding mountains you seek
Indonesia leads the list with five
But, Kamchatka's four also plenty alive
With Sheveluch warning planes away
Peru's Sabancaya cranking 15 explosions a day
Reunion Island was oozing, now on break
Kilauea still on a dormant streak

Waxing moon now in its gibbous phase
Moving into spring constellation maze
Clear or clouds it'll be bright tonight
With our satellite bouncing our star's light
Morning planet show has spread a bit
While in the evening, Mars is it
Get out and enjoy today's mild air
I know it has awoken a least on bear
Not here, but not very far away
So, I guess I'll have to say
Be ready and willing to share the wood
But, Today on Earth, outside is so good!
