ADIEU TO APRIL 2020 By Polly Guerin




Claude Monet's Garden



















As we settle down in our at-home cave
A surreal kind of April was on the page

Yet hopelessly in love with lovely spring
The earth burst forth with flower bling

In every odour and in a rainbow hue
They carpeted the garden, so you knew

That spring was knocking at your door
Brought promise of love as never before

April reminds us, remember joys of spring
When creativity can reshape and bring

The air made clearer, purer to breath
We wore our masks for safety, to please

The sky seemed true blue, even bluer
Brooks burst forth, cleaner,  truer

I looked up late one night at the velvet sky
And saw, first time, two stars twinkling by

The city sparrow chirpd a cheerful chatter
Alone in quarantine I felt it really matter

Easter bunnies took a vacaion this month
Other holidays were closeted and sunk

The chilly weather was unlike sweet April
Rain and sunshine vied for the weather cable

Cozying up and speak to family and freinds
We re-started like solo birds in the end

And even though the rain thundered down
Sweet May was waiting to come around.

Adieu to April, a month I will never forget
As May steps timidly into the net.
