Bitter day, queen April
(bored with winter)
Makes quarrel with her king
That reins the month of March.

Ice on both their breaths
Paints a rouge on human cheeks
And bursts of who is right contain
Spits of sleet, that melted, drip
(In chilly rivulets)
Down the backs of human necks;

The king is cold and cruel,
His wind, he thinks will end
The argument that came in bursts,
From his overheated queen;

But her say is he'll retreat,
For on the near horizon waits
New castles built of calmer days,
By warmer knights of May.

Wow, Ford, loved this, and my favorite of all of yours, what a theator you've projected...like watching a holograph of your mind, making a movie...

Oh, that silly winter King...
doesn't he realize that
the Queen's sun will reign again?

But oh, how he blusters!

A charming read, Ford...
thank you!
