Yes, of course. I can be found @zihuawriter on Instagram, too. About to post my April, Fooled poem too. I created a genre I call visual anthems, and also teacup haiku. Let's stay in touch!
I appreciate this questioning. I don’t understand the poem but I sense its significance ... I welcome some input, if others feel like helping me grasp more.
hah I love this! Everyone is like "new beginnings new life new year!" and you're like "babbling idiots" I am giggling silently at work right now and I am living for this! Thank you
She arrives
sassy
brassy
blustering in
vulgar
radiant
overdressed
in freshly fallen
virginal white,
laughing at us
in our tattered winter weary bathrobes
sipping lukewarm coffee.
Bewildered.
A multitude of birds rejoice
excavating with
eager beaks
the seeds of
forgotten summer
sunflowers
and the bittersweet
wrinkled apples of last October
I set out last night, now
buried in her skirts.
Brilliant bitch,
welcome back
April First.

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.
“Not only under ground are the brains of men.” Well, that changed tone rather quickly didn’t it?
Edna's feeling spicy this morning, eh? She's right, though: "The smell of earth is good."
Definitely the cruelest month.
Now, at long last,
we have the origin of
April Fool’s Day?
Edna gave me chills. Thank you.
