April Is More Than Showers

It's April and stately trees are slowly
changing from white to green;
skies above look down cheerfully,
into the small lake tiny frogs plop
as balloons float over a tree top:
" Happy Birthday, Little Queen! " 

If spring is the annual rebirth of Nature
and human spirit, all must sing one tune...
incited by the bright red butterflies that lure:
they dance forming the big ring of Neptune!

April is more than showers 
and lovely dew-dripping flowers,
grin is forgotten, laughter reappears 
on everybody's wind-brushed  cheeks;
one happy passerby greets
another with revered courtesy:
each soul, each heart pours 
out a sweetness of amicability!  

If a talented young musician played
the Mozart's piano sonata in D major,  
each butterfly would begin to dance 
with the liveliness of a skilled ballerina!
If the heartthrob maestro exuded
thrill he'd be tempted to raise an octava higher:
a curious crowd would quickly gather,
then all butterflies would swirl around Angelina!
