APRIL DAYS...
Snow this morning put a grizzled face on April
and I complained
some awful snowy day this is
some awful day
some awful snowy April day
And then I conjured in my mind
the magic of some different April days
some sweet-surprise-you April days
beaming sunny
warm and cheerful
April days
Sandwiched brilliant in between the
cloudy rainy
icy snowy
final-winter-tantrum
cold and gloomy
April days
Delightful days of April witchcraft
prancing in
on kindly breeze
and softening sun
blithe and charming
oh seductive
April days
Precious and more prized
than later days
of spring and summer
richer by rambunctious contrast
gladsome
bright and sunny
warm and sexy siren
April days
