#29 - April Showers Bring May Flowers (A Pantoun)


April, as a month, is dreary,
The earth is dank and spoiled,
The sky opaque, the air is bleary,
The snow, too slow, recoiled.

The earth is dank and spoiled,
Green growth yet to appear,
The snow, too slow, recoiled,
An undecided time of year.

Green growth yet to appear,
Trees still proudly bare,
An undecided time of year,
A chill pervades the air.

Trees still proudly bear
Leaves, grow lush and bright,
A warmth pervades the air,
The sun shares its precious light.

Leaves grow lush and bright,
Grass sprouts green and nourishes,
The sun shares its welcome light,
Life abounds and flourishes.

May as a month is sweet.
