[b]April 1: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
New beginnings soon
Green shoots peeking up from soil
Not yet time to bloom

[b]April 2: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Snowflakes in the air
Searching for a place to land
Cold winter’s last sigh

[b]April 3: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Day frozen with doubts
Changes can be scary, too
Face them… tomorrow

[b]April 4: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Daylight hour lost
“Spring forward,” says the Princess
Twilight: “Lost a bet.”

[b]April 5: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Wrap-up brings beauty
New nests skillfully woven
Homes for friends, by friends

[b]April 6: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Five-syllable yawn!
Bear friend is a sleepyhead
Honey perks him up

[b]April 7: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Hardy winter herbs
Give up final gifts and rest
Soft new growth begins

[b]April 8: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
She took a wrong turn
But better late than never
Welcome back, Ms. Goose!

[b]April 9: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
We ran so they fell
After green turned orange and red
Who runs so they grow?

[b]April 10: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Spa relaxation
Comes with its share of stresses
Friends make it worthwhile

[b]April 11: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Unspoken thoughts grow
Longing to blossom in spring
They wither instead

[b]April 12: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Ponyville is pranked!
Pink and blue claim April Fools’
On the twelfth? Surprise!

[b]April 13: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Cool, wet, and mucky
April showers have their fans
Worm and toad parade

[b]April 14: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Upside-down tea party
Buttering saucers instead of scones
He takes pride in his mess
But there is order in the chaos

[b]April 15: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Flowers hide meaning
Roses: love, lilies: solace
Daffodils… lunchtime!

[b]April 16: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Serendipity:
A word for something unseen—
Generosity

[b]April 17: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Tuesday is canceled
Exceptional circumstance
Won’t make it hurt less

[b]April 18: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Strangest plant of all
The carousel’s flowers bloom
Pastel spring fashions

[b]April 19: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Fun at pet play date
Startling teamwork wins the race
Tortoise and the hare

[b]April 20: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
The sweet song of birds
Melodious, but also…
A little risqué!

[b]April 21: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Passion for the marks
Shifts focus, now they notice
The flanks underneath

[b]April 22: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Contemplative mood
Wishing I could be alone
But not by myself

[b]April 23: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Carrots, onions, leeks
Spring’s produce is crisp and fresh
Taste of a new year

[b]April 24: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Soft words in private
Cucumber slices on eyes
Elusive meanings

[b]April 25: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Bouncing in the stream
Bunny never wants his bath
But loves playing splash

[b]April 26:[/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Fog winds through forest
The poetry of the haze
Transcending my own

[b]April 27: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Anticipation:
Anxiety, but reformed
By reassurance

[b]April 28: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Sharing poetry
Is baring a piece of soul
For a special friend

[b]April 29: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Sleeping underground
Chirping friends need extra rest
See you in summer

[b]April 30: [/b] [b] [/b] [b] [/b]
Home is safe and warm
Sealed with a sturdy door, but:
I’d welcome you in
