Weather Retorts

This group of poems is about the weather and/or the seasons that rule it.

Judging April

April is graded in the northeast by her work
toward the detonation of forsythia, which
converts neighborhood street corners and

Highway interstices into explosions of
sunshine for two weeks, max – and while that
shrub returns to ordinary and ungainly, a good

April hands the baton to May, who gets all the glory!
