Notes About The Poem

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Anacreontic Verse Winter has now passed, tears drip from the sky grey clouds hide the blue it’s raining! I cry. April showers bring us welcomed rain, our garden’s thirst is quenched again. Vibrant crocuses of yellow and blue peer through the soil. Daffodils dance in the warm spring breeze, their golden pollen may make you sneeze! Terrific tulips delight us bursting with jewelled colours of purple, pink and red. Cherry blossom falls on a zephyr breeze, resembling pretty pink wedding confetti falling from the trees.

My favorite is the tulips. Only thing is they just don't last long enough. Lots of imagery in this poem and I really enjoyed all of the colorful flowers. Peace nice lady:)

We have 3 tulips in the garden now - I agree they don't last long nor do the daffodils once they are cut - so I leave them in the garden:-) hugs Jan xx
