Like it or not, we live
Like it or not, we die

The March madness ends

I am just an April fool

looking for sunshine

Peace of nature shows
how relaxing life can be
and can show you truth 

Life is cut too short
One decision leads to another
It’s the way of life

From April showers 

Forged for the goose and gander

Mating on my lawn

Slow Scurry 

End Worry 







Inspired by Brian's April Footle contest !

An awakened Earth

Lovely March, April and May

Dormant seeds will thrive.

the ides of March cease
April, May, June, july gone
soon fall will be here

Sly quiet slim fur
Sneaking through the trees
The only one that likes water

Words flee



from me







Inspired by Brian Strand's April Footle contest

Waves chasing our boots

April's beach windy and wild

Chilled, happy trio

one last glimpse..
her love submerges with
the Titanic





17th April 2013

Marching through,

   A storm washes,

April Fools with

    Spring delights.

<center>March and April play
Chameleon games…always
Change…yet stay the same

CROCUS

Beacon
Among the brown debris
Under April's last snow
Signalling spring

A slow-creeping mollusk
Belonging to family
Differing from slugs
Protective shell

Green point pushes up

Through seas of grey debris and

Brashly cries out, “Hope.”

When April brings spring

The earth wakes up again

And new life peeks through

Ocean

My bluish-hued
passion for you rising.
Take its  cue.

and it is exactly.

when no one knows what you mean.

Try 'em



Buy 'em



















For Brian's April Footle contst  Won 3rd place

Shadows of the night...

The forest sleeps.

An April breeze bestirs me:

It is you.

caladiums fill 

rock garden with pale faces

in quaint flower bed

then he nibbled my prize rose

Just curious to see who falls for this again.

       an April shower;
       the blackbird sings for a mate
       under the rainbow

April showers. Wet.
Looking forward to summer.
Sun. Bikini girls. Love.

Off to war he went!

Went where he was sent!

Hearts break way too fast
I need some medication
If I can't have you
