April, she’s (2016 April PAD - Day 4)

all photos PSC / Apr 2016

  

April, she’s 

distant,

cool;

and I feel  

such a fool

believing that she

was warming up

to me

when only last week

she was sunshiny, bright,

all laughter and light.

Well, today

she’s wholly…

wintry;

Arctic and bitter –

a bone-chilling, shiver-

y mass of crystalline frost.

Still, I'm certain

that all

is not lost;

Yes, I’m sure

that she’ll budge.

This girl can’t hold a grudge;

she’s gentle and kind

at her core.

She’ll thaw in a trice;

just a day – maybe thrice –

several days,

or a week…

mayhap more.
