May Day's Now Past

The sweet glare of dawn-break

Adorns the morning dew;

There's a balmy blanket of countless hues arising...

Violet tulips trade tepid daffodils, one by one, as

 Greens grow more verdant and the overhead 

Leaf-canopy gradually grows more lush...

The garden beds rejoice;

The fat robins fetch an extra voice;
The spring's azure light gathers 'round

Speckled nests containing open mouths;

And while we watch in utter wonder,

There's a certain niggling question:

What took so long ???

poem by L.P.-G.

WOULD YOU STATE THESE WERE

"As he rode into the city on a donkey, his followers spread palm branches at his feet and called him 'Hosanna' or 'savior'."

/ˈpä(l)mē/    adjective

However, the word 'palmy' doesn't always relate to palm trees. For example [ #1]:

 

1.  (especially of a previous period of time) flourishing or successful.

"The palmy days of the 1970s"

Now, as far as what would soon follow Palm Sunday, one might invoke the word 'tenebrous' ...

 

ten·e·brous

/ˈtenəbrəs/

adjective: dark, shadowy, or obscure 

 

Why did the Russians say, "Bring us Barabbus?"

How Hell awaits !

YES, TODAY MADE HISTORY!

 

... and it's a f****** big

 deal in a very good way !!!

CONGRATS !!!

The Cruelest Month: Redux

   

A Simple Question for April...

Where is your sense of disgrace today

 

As the sleet blankets gravel and roof tops ?

 

There's frost connecting my flower beds

 

As well as the blossoming snowdrops...

I would have thought much better of you

 

Had you altered this wicked detraction;

 

Perhaps there's no hope for this 'cruelest of months'

 

And, hence, no kind-hearted redaction!!!

poem by L.P.-G. / April 4, 2022

" April is the cruelest month"

**************

 Redux upon Redux (sigh...)

  [4-18-2022]

There's snow on my magnolia tree;

The daffodils have drooped;

No cherry blossoms smile at me,

And all of Spring

Seems stooped ...

They say of April,

"She's so cruel ! ... No

Saint among our year!"

To April's snowy mess outside:

" Melt fast and disappear !!"

Suffering 'Gladly' Today: The April Fool

 

How shines The Fool

On a day like today!

Are there pranks 'pending'?

Bluffs yet to play ?

A fool's not a halfwit,

But simply a jester;

In terms of deception,

He's one smart investor !
