Hello, April

The Think Write Thursday topic for today is (no surprise here) to write a post called, "Hello, April." 

Piles of snow recede.
While daffodils are budding
The deer help themselves

April, please, no fools.
Just eggs and lovely flowers.
Spring can stay a while.

This next haiku isn't specific to April, but it did spring fully-formed into my mind when I was checking the calendar.

 Time flies far too fast
I realized with alarm
I'm sixty in June.

    Lovely Ode to April! :-) (And 60 is a nice, round number. That's all.) XO

    Love your haiku - fun! And, love your calendar page - perfect. And, trust me as I know, 60 is not bad!

    I used to be 60 ... until a couple of weeks ago. ;-) You may actually enjoy it, though I would not suggest finishing out the year with a broken ankle ...

    I love your little poems for April!

    Love your haiku TWTs. You'll always be younger (by 7 years) than I am!

    I adore haikus and their simplistic summary of a thought. Lovely photos of winter's last hurrah (hopefully!) and for your poetic spirit!!
