Slip me Slow to April

If I were to hurry and march March along,
I would get there sooner,
But fates would not be kind,
They would hurry me past April,
Though April must slip smooth, and slow,

For comes the month of spring and sense,
And nonsense and some common be,
For April is the month of read,
As comes forth my poets, and poetry…

You might think I have it all
Here in my pages of blue, ‘tis true…
And sated, I might be,
For all the lot of you…

But to hear new poets speak to me,
To hear their hearts in roar
And find new climes and hear of times
Of mountains and of shores…

So do not hurry nor march March too fast,
Though I would get there sooner,
For fates they would not be so kind,
And would hurry me past April,
For April must slip smooth, and slow

And I must melt the last of snow…

And hear the poets spring.

Karilea - April is a birthday month for some of us,

.....so I would like March to linger a bit longer, ease me into April. Spring means new beginnings, and yes, new poets with all of their words to share with us. Enjoyed. Chris
