April...

Once upon a time she was

akin to distant stars

while snowflakes swirled

and winter hurled 

its venom from yon bars

to howl at doors

and tap on windows

shuttered to the cold

that now, in warmth 

of April charm

melts into green and gold

Janet Martin

p.s. today however, Old Man Winter

is doing his best to change the title to 

April Hoary-Story
