April Pink

 

“APRIL PINK”

In the sky drifts an April pink full moon,

bright spotlight—glittery party balloon.

Budding pink tulip and cherry blossom,

sweet peas and daisies—also awesome.

Spring renewal—nature’s airy bouquets,

snapdragons bite—pink full moon plays.

April Ryan is a Washington writer and poet who has been frequently published in Northwest Prime Time as well as winning some contests and placements in other venues. Hint: The Pink Full Moon is on April 6th but will be visible before and after that.
