The air is petrichor and pine
mixed with the spiciness of new mulch
Birds skitter across leaf litter
looking for seeds
The dogs and I
out for a walk,
basking in first warmth
I want to pluck this moment out of time
keep it in my pocket
but the dogs pull on their leash,
a gentle reminder to
Keep moving.

Yes, this really catches that moment and lets it sit in our palms for a bit before it flies off. Very suited to the season, and nice internal rhyme, LM.
I also wish I could retain the beauty of March all year around, although our seasons are opposite.
I think you have captured the renewal of energy we feel in spring so well.. the pace of walking with the dog can be felt in the words.
Love it, love the ending
Love the way this moves. Beautiful work.
Agree with all the comments above--lovely movement here--we want to stop and just be--spring not quite the season for it--super, thanks. k. (Manicddaily)
If I didn't have my little furball, I think I'd miss so many of nature's miracles (spring not being the least of them). You made me smile with recognition!
a perfect glimpse ~
Dang those dogs, although they are big fans of spring as well I think, just in their own way. Beautiful description, felt like I was walking with you. Great writing! Thanks!!!
