Poem-A-Day April 2022, Day 1

Poem-A-Day April 2022, Day 1

I've started the April Poem-A-Day Challenge from Writer’s Digest again, despite my worst intentions and procrastination. Looking forward to having fun with it and maybe even writing a decent poem or two.

The day one prompt was to write an “F” title poem, a poem with an f word (not necessarily THE F word) in the title. With our early April snowstorm and still the urge to get out to plant and get things growing, I thought about how Mother Nature with her snow surprises can make us play April’s fool.
