About April

About April Oh, April, thou art fickle; We know why April Fools Belongs to you. Tornadic surprises, and yet While our feet are getting wet; Colors burst into natural umbrellas. Oh, April, thou art fickle; You stand in front of Winter man, And dare his sneaky return plan. We’ll take your interim joy between ‘Til May’s maturity of spring Weds itself to summer.

Great APRIL poem, summarizing its contradictions (like colorful, and "tornadic"! Did you intend the 3rd stanza to keep "though" for "Thou"? Anyway, I suggest U re-post every April 1st or a day before. a gem of April poems. His blessings on US. Happy Easter

Thank you, Anil, for going back in time and picking up on this poem. I'm flattered! Yes, you are right, "though" should be "Thou." I'm going to fix it right now.
