Tantalizing April

 ~ Tantalizing April ~

Cloud filtered sun

and a stiff little breeze

belies the warm promise

of mid sixty degrees

so I don a light sweatshirt to

sit on my balcony coffee in hand

in the quiet of the morning with

no one about  I gaze at near

tree buds soon to burst out

I dream of the summer, of

warm days to come and

spring flowers ready to

bloom in the gardens

all over our town

but the clouds cool the 

sunbeams, the wind

has its way while 

I slip back inside

to finish my day
