A poem from my book entitled Slices of Life. I had this booklet published and copyrighted in 1997, while residing at Elliot Lake, Ontario.

I would like to share this poem with your reading subscribers. I've recently written about 15 more, and plan to have all poems (approximately 61) republished if I can find a publisher willing to do them. They deal with all aspects of life (birthdays, anniversaries, war, death, loneliness, seasons, etc.).


April

April breaks the silence
Of nature's stifling hand
As quenching rains fall gently
On earth's cold barren sands.

The chilling winds of winter
And the frost upon the ground
Are gradually losing battle
As the sun's rays bounce around.

Plants that once lay dormant
And animals in burrows deep
Now display much vigor
As they rise from winter's sleep.

The bustle of activity
Within the forest walls
All indicate that spring is here
Reinforced by animal calls.

So let us celebrate nature's triumph
Over fall and winter's grip
As earth revived by spring's caress
Continues on its seasonal trip.   Submitted By: NULL
