April PAD Challenge Day One

Happy, happy April!!

Writer's Digest poem-a-day/PAD Challenge-day one;

 For today's prompt, write a foolish poem.

I love clipping branches in mid-March 

then bringing them indoors to watch them unfold!

(Pussy-willow, bridal wreath and apple boughs!)

 

Foolish to pout, fume, fuss/cuss and fret

Spring never has lost its way yet

Foolish to leap before we look

Then rue the foolish leap we took

Foolish to think if we veto

The truth somehow it isn't so 

Foolish to trust in the façade

Of dust to dust, rather than God

Foolish to live as if the soul

Was nothing but a donut hole  

Foolish to wish for what once was

and miss What Is, 

in wishing's Because

Foolish to lament growing old

While licking cones of moment-gold 

Foolish to scorn the wisdom of

Mercy and goodness from above

Janet Martin
