March Winds

by Martin Shaw

They blow about from
day to day.
For, that is just the
March Winds' way.
They whistle through
the stately trees,
and rattle branches when
they please.

They scatter leaves about
the ground,
they're known to make a
howling sound.
But, best of all, they do
not last,
for when it's April, they've all passed.

Teaching Day-by-Day: Air
March is a month of changing weather and changing winds. It's also the month when the first hint of spring is in the air. Let your imaginations soar as you explore the wind and air.
