APRIL REDUX: It's here again and generally with surprises...

                                                                


                                                         My DAFFS  feel  

'Frozen'

To the touch:

Am I expecting

     Far too much ?           





Some latitudes

Bring

Springs quite cold;

Life's tender

Roots

 Ensnared by mold...

 


Thus, Eliot waxed

'Wisely'

On his hunch

That

  "April is the cruelest month"

IT'S A WELL-KNOWN FACT:

          'FEAR OF FLYING'  

          IS ALL TOO REAL

       "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to Blossom."

'Bout Last Week

           I can't remember back

That far

To Spring 'real nice'

   In March...           




 Most of the time

March-days unfold

As dismal,

Damp, and stark.



The southern climes

Are better set

To charm us

  With their blooms...


While we,

'Quite north',

Still wear

Our coats and curse

The nippy gloom !!

However, there IS a bright light today: Happy Birthday, Dr. Kaitlyn !!

March 1st: Baaa! not Roar !!

 

March 1st: Baaa! not Roar !! 


I did not hear

A lion's roar

When opening wide

  My foyer door...

 


March crept in

On lamb feet,

"Quiet";

Sooo...will March's

Last Day

Bring peace, or riot??
