Adieu April

Adieu April Adios you soggy segue nature’s mud pie maker roof top drummer dog soaker puddle teaser. Au Revoir cool breathed friend easing the ice from its depths cajoling the worms play peek-a-boo with the Robins. Bon Voyage old vagabond titillating transient instinct whisperer spring’s pheromonal scent arousing dormant need. Farewell fading water colors dashes of Jonquil yellow sprayed among Bluebonnets triumphant Tulips surrounded by Dandelion minions. “Parting is a sweet sorrow”* eased in May’s sweet greens long evenings warmth celebrating such splendid serendipity. John G. Lawless 4/29/2017 *My acknowledgement to Shakespeare
