The first April drops
Start to fall from shadowed skies
A spray of sprinkles
Scattering over the ground
The first spring shower is here ©

    Another wonderful poem. You have amazing talent in writing in various formats. The results are phenomenal.

    And yes, the acrostic I wrote took me awhile. I was trying a unique format. And it was hard. Now I have to share it with him and hope he likes it.

    Very pretty...simple. I like it, though of course I always prefer your longer rhyming poems....you do so good with them. :)
