Today, we’re happy to share a collection of classic and contemporary March poems !
March is very much an in-between time. Some years, March warmly welcomes us into Spring, while in other years, she may leave us still in the depths of winter. Perhaps a good way to conceive of March is as a liminal space. This is true in the church calendar as well. This year, Lent will fill all of March, with Palm Sunday falling on March 29. We cannot rush ahead to Easter and resurrection just yet.
The March poems we’ve collected here explore seasonality, the challenge of patience, and the themes of Lent. We’ve also included poems for Women’s History Month and St. Patrick’s Day.
Featuring poems by Emily Dickinson, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ada Limón, William Butler Yeats, and more!
Green
D.H. Lawrence
The dawn was apple-green,
The sky was green wine held up in the sun,
The moon was a golden petal between.
She opened her eyes, and green
They shone, clear like flowers undone,
For the first time, now for the first time seen.
