Poetry, April 1

[jade_sabre]

It is in fact that time of the year again! Woo! I already have a lot of recommendations, but I'm always welcoming more. Random poems are good, as are random poets.
Anyway, for today, the first day of April, when the sun is shining and the wind speed is " SW 29 G 33 MPH," I present to you a poem by Ogden Nash to get us off on the right foot. True, I picked it rather at random, and I'm almost tempted to save it for another day; on the other hand, it gives a sort of glimpse at what the month to come may have in store. Also, I love the title.



Always Marry an April Girl
   Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.

Great choice for the first poem of the month. I love the title too. I think I may show this to Matthew. :)

perhaps my parents knew how perfect i'd be and could hardly wait to get me into the world

i'm pretty sure you're just deluding yourself at this point

[loquaciousquark.livejournal.com]

au contraire, as i singlehandedly embody the stark, honest truth of objective observation

and right now it's telling me you're a dweeb

oh dear God

somebody call the crazy police

quick quick before she runs away

referring to yourself in the third person is never a good sign, you know

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

that was not funny or clever at all

[loquaciousquark.livejournal.com]

once again your opinions are atrociously incorrect

[jade-sabre-301.livejournal.com]

referring to yourself in second person is worse
