Hi! I haven't been to emule for a while, but I've been really busy in school. I forgot the last time I wrote a poem =(


April 4/11/2004


My thumb and middle finger froze
in January's freezer,
trying to grab
an ice cream bar. Cold, metal-bar-
on-your-belly-in-your-
warm-bed
cold.

April is like
a school of thirty tropical
yellow-red-orange fish
swimming in my heart(a fish
tank) that is
wide and long,
because it is April.

June has a bronzed body and
an inflated ego,
so do July and August.
September and its older friends
have an upturned nose and
wear fancy fur coats.

April is a terrible painter,
but gets lucky sometimes
when mixing
the gold and the white and the blue

sky that rarely
sings
about April,
but it is April.
Yes, it is
April!

Thanks everyone. Sometimes April seems to have already started in March, but not this year though, =( It snowed in March this year, if I remember correctly.

=( It snowed in March this year, if I remember correctly.

Depends on where you are. It hasn't snowed here in about 15 years.
