April’s Promises

\nNow spring’s returned and blown away the grey
\nAnd coloured in the winter’s crudest sketch
\nThe garden’s birds have found they’ve much to say
\nAnd many beaks of nesting sticks to fetch<\/p>\n
A summer sun shines down from April’s sky
\nIlluminating multicoloured flowers
\nThe robin’s song declares he isn’t shy
\nHe puffs his chest and sings for endless hours<\/p>\n
These days can’t last the rains will soon return
\nWith dreary clouds and unexpected storms
\nWe live in hope too self obsessed to learn
\nThat year by year “the usual thing” performs<\/p>\n
The weather gods maintain a harsh regime
\nThe perfect English summer’s just a dream<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
