Like Spring Chamber Music With A Twist


For today's prompt, we're going to try something a little different
 in that I want you to write an "And Now for Something Completely Different" poem. 
This prompt is inspired by the Monty Python skits that would suddenly shift gears, 
but your poem doesn't have to be humorous. 
It should aspire to be somehow different than what you've written so far this month.

We laugh at robin antics...




Like an invitation to spring’s festival, the sun
Unfolds the earth at daybreak, beckoning to everyone...



Like an invitation to spring’s festival, the sun
Unfolds the earth at daybreak, beckoning to everyone
To rise and shine like little lights of love into a world
To slow swift pace and pause where nature’s vendors are unfurled
Like gentle chamber music, and admission is free
A festival of bars and phrases primed for poetry
Where no one is elbowing neighbors for a better view
(Although we wouldn’t mind, on this fine day, a nudge or two)
Because we are honored to be part of this happiness
While wandering through April’s festival of friendliness
We laugh at robin antics as they sing, a merry troop
And praise this perfect…what the heck?!!!
Aw! I just stepped in dog poop!!!
