Enjoy your Spring! |
"And Spring arose on
the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love
felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb
on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams
of its wintry rest."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley,
The Sensitive Plant

April is National Poetry Month
http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/41
"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."
- Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926
