A Flaky April?

 April Snow? How can that be?

Whirling flakes flow thick and free

Painting each branch of the tree

Across my way

Pale lavender and thyme droop low

Their thrusting growth wrapped up in snow

Whiter than white my deck chairs glow

In weak sun ray…

 

A hopeful, sun-filled week forgotten,

Blossom buds now wreathed in cotton

Weird weather patterns are just not on

Farmers, beware!

Frosted veggies will cost more

With fewer choices in the store

While shivering Spring stands at the door

Lost in despair…

 

Caught unawares this Easter week

All cobbles hidden in my street

Prospects for an egg-hunt bleak

It’s Snowman time!

As the blizzard its cold swathe extends

I pity those with canine friends

Now faced with new, slip-sliding trends

Hence this new rhyme!
