PAD is drawing to an end for another year. Today’s prompt was to remix a poem from earlier in the month. I decided to remix my poem from Day One. You can read both below.
Can’t Fool Me
April first brings ice on the windshield
to try to fool me
to say it isn’t spring in Alabama
But I’ve seen azaleas in bloom
and green shoots springing up
between winter’s dead blades
I’ve opened the front door
felt the breeze flow in
then out the back
being thankful for the screens
though they can’t stop all the pollen
from creeping in
to coat the porch in yellow
Longer days make me lose track of time
as I savor the sunshine
and postpone supper
All this says spring
You can’t fool me, April first
Not Fooled
April tried to fool me
with ice after azaleas
but now the lawn is green
the air a sweet perfume
mornings are cool
afternoons balmy
when the roses said hello
the pollen said goodbye
spring is loud and lovely
I listen to her and smile
yes, April tried to fool me
but May is on the way
Not In This Soup Alone 
Both of these were great and if you could please send spring north to us!
I’d like to hang onto the spring, but I’ll send you the summer.
