April's Celestial Shepherdess

 

She laughs

herding her woolly flocks

to farther pasture's

with passionate

smile

Then she weeps,

her tears softening

earth-leather cusp

Her eyes beguile

the tightly clenched bud

She scowls

An icy stare

Conceals her mirth

hope turns to mud

as restless sheep
crowd about her...

trample her skirts,  but

then she smiles

...sheep scatter

as tulip rivers

color the earth
