This April snow




This April snow
is not cloud laden
cold and wet,
it does not die
in a moist palm
nor cluster
in balls for throwing.

This April snow
is a white cloud on hawthorn
springing, soft petalled,
deep as branches,
in the hedgerow.

This April snow
is a larder for bees,
a playground for butterfly
and a cure for melancholy.

This April snow
drifts in the breeze
confetti
for the marriage
of seasons.
