Moody Girl

 April you fool
  tossing pink confetti 
at a
  symphony of bees
performing
the Blue Danube-
then you plant
  a shocking Alaskan kiss
you take my breath
away in a
peppermint chill
next day
 balmy breezes 
and sun dappling ribbons
twirl-
You tease me
Calendar girl
always flirting 
 batting your
lashes of wonder
pleased when-
water colored tears
arrive
all is forgiven
your rainbow smile
mirrors mine
I dance in puddles
wearing 
my lemon 
boots.
 .

Enjoyed the imagery in this, Ella. April definitely can play the role of a fool sometimes! I am tired of its peppermint chill, however. Smiles.

I love the yellow boots and all, Ella. The Alaskan kiss threw me into puzzle time, I am thinking that they will be the same as an 'Eskimo kiss' of gently rubbing noses. I like those kind but they aren't as sensuous as the regular or foreign kisses.

The color and imagery in this - and the playfulness of the month described - really appeals to me. I especially love the idea of you in lemon boots!

We talk about April weather with all those shifts between winter and almost summer.. I like the way you say it's a moody girl with colors (and I guess it's also stained with mud)

Very cool that you seem to be chastising fickle April, then end up the dancing one. After all, April is irresistible.

Ahhh, Ella, I thought of "Alice in Wonderland" when I saw the picture and after I read your poem I thought how appropriate. April does have that feel with her manic extremes. I love the yellow boots.
