Avril Idiots

Happy April Fools Day

Avril Idiots
The grey, the gold, plot, observe.
But fools come garbed in yellow,
Naïve, brave, step and swerve
Cliff edges, gaping hollows.

Bulbs burst and stems stamp,
Patrons of fools and dancers.
First to throw winter’s wraps,
Defy frost's gripping pinchers.

Daffodils roar, trumpets blown,
Face wind whips, frozen swords,
Roses wait and claim the crown,
Riding summer’s sure rewards.

Poised pens and plucked strings
Braving trends, battle tastes
Nectar sun behind the stings
Of fearful ice delaying fate.

Note ropes and letter masts
Build ships of brave invention.
Frozen fields with yellow hats
Frightening stale convention.

Soft roses suck coin, acclaim
After tests and trials of Avril.
Sham artists timid, tame
Ride victories of the daffodils.
