IT'S AN ANNUAL OCCURRENCE... The April Fool

 

                poem by L.P.-G / 4-2023

Still Under 30 !

TRUSTY 'GUSTY MARCH'

                                                                         

This third month gusts,

And all seems mad;

 Impatient as we are...

Did we forget?

It's always marked

The seal of winter's scar?

I loathe the panting

Trenchant wind;

It ebbs and crests

All night.

We'll greet dear April

Soon enough;

Yet, she's not

Always bright!

As I Looked North One March

                                                                                     

Three  resplendent  robins

Sat on my

Neighbor's lawn.

The time was

Half-past noon-day sun

(A good while after dawn).

They scurried up to branches

And danced around with glee,

I swore I spied a secret smile

That swirled about that tree.

One of them alighted

And motioned to the rest,

"Spring's around the corner, boys...

Get going !  Go get dressed ! "

 

Their cries alerted groundhogs,

And one peered 'neath

My deck...

There was no sign

Of Spring in 'there';

It muttered,

"What the heck? ! ?"

A grey squirrel

Scales my silver pine,

Two black cats saunter by...

I heard a whisper in the wind:

Spring tiptoes in the sky...

MARCH: from mousy to "BEWARE!"

                                                                                    

The mousy month of

March (today)

Came waltzing to

My door...

I checked the bolts

And they were slack;

This chilled me

To my core...

In two scant weeks

The Ides descend

  As senates settle scores ...

A dagger was drawn

44 BC

And Caesar was

 

"NO MORE"
