Spring Poem

April

It's lemonade; it's lemonade, its daisy,
It's a roller-skating scissor-grinding day;
It's gingham-waisted, chocolate flavored, lazy,
With the children flower-scattered at their play.

It's the sun like watermelon,
And the sidewalks overlaid
With a glaze of yellow yellow
Like a jar of marmalade.

It's the mower gently mowing,
And the stars, like startled glass,
While the mower keeps on going
Through a waterfall of grass.

Then the rich magenta evening
Like a sauce upon the walk.
And the porches softly swinging
With a hammockful of talk.

It's the hobo at the corner
With his lilac-sniffing gait
And the shy departing gait,
And the shy departing thunder
Of the fast departing skate.

It's lemonade, it's lemonade, it's April!
A water sprinkler, puddle winking time,
When a boy who peddles slowly, with a smile remote and holy,
Sells you April chocolate flavored for a dime.
(Marcia Masters)
 

In the spring when nature is awaking and the wild flowers bloom.
The rushing and meandering creeks needs more room.
The beautiful snow covered peaks are touching the clear blue sky.
And the fleecy white clouds go dancing right on by.
The newly arrived migrating birds are hurriedly building their nests.
And all of nature is so beautiful and at its very best.
The pair of great golden eagles are dipping then soaring so high.
And seeing all below with ever watchful eye.
The scampering little chipmunks are running and playing all around.
But always on alert and without notice cannot be found.
Looking at this very beautiful panorama from the crest of a hill.
A delight to behold when all is so very quiet
and still.
(Dale L. Neill)
 

A pril shower's sprinkle down,

P itter patter drops,
R andom raindrops all around,
I love it when it stops.
L ove the springtime sunshine,

S ee a rainbow here and there,
H old your brolly good and tight,
O utside it blows your hair.
W eather changes, rain then sun,
E very day you see,
R aindrops falling, we don't care,
S helter underneath a tree.
(Betty Hattersley)
