OH APRIL

Oh April
I hear you tapping
Tapping on sweet Spring’s back door
Running through the streets after dark
Undisciplined, unchaperoned
Chattering in a fledgling nest
Peeking from behind softened soil
Basking in a sunrise drum roll
I hear nature whisper
OH! APRIL

Isn't it a wonderful season that fills our eyes each year? You've included the sights and sounds of rebirth of the Earth. Well done, John.

Hello John, You wrote a wonderful symphony of seasonal whispers, each line a delicate note in the song of spring. Your words evoke the vitality of April, tapping at the door of sweet Spring with playful insistence. I can almost feel the pulse of life awakening in nature's rhythm, echoing through the streets and stirring the earth from its slumber. Wonderful April Poem, - Blessings, Daniel
