april in rhymes

coffee stains 

    and plugged drains. 

rainstorms

   and sourdough forms. 

          seedlings popping 

 and lettuce chopping. 

dirty nails

  and hay bales. 

              fruit bowls 

          and cinnamon rolls. 

mint infused

   and books used. 

                     candle flickers

and horse nickers

            flowers plucked from ditches

  and the art of fabric and stitches

apron tied 

            and herbs dried

conversations long 

         and memorized song

      laundry folded 

                      and dishwasher loaded

morning thrift finds

and evening journaling unwinds. 

        sunday afternoon trails

and snail mail

table bouquets

       and mulch laid. 

 apple pie 

          and pink sky 

     choirs 

and campfires

       friendship

                  and road trips

summer dreaming

    and reality breathing
