A Warm March Day Poem by Francis Duggan

A warm March day by the seaside close to thirty degrees
The air is dry and humid with scarce a puff of breeze
But in the early Autumn time we do get days like these
The weather for us seldom near to perfect we must be hard to please
People swimming in saltwater to wash the sweat from their bodies away
For lovers of the sunshine this is a welcome day
Each passing day one nearer Winter the coldest time of year
And many people making the most of the warm weather that's how it does appear
White butterflies in abundance even by the ocean shore
In my lifetime i have never seen so many of them in sixty years or more
For March it is warm and humid lots of flying insects about
We are in a time of climate change of that there is no doubt.
