April

  
Once again, it’s April and as you should know by now, this is poetry month. There will be a lot of my favorite poems which I haven’t put up before, a little more of Warwickshire in the form of cozy places to stay that have character and a few ghosts and hopefully two new poems by yours truly which I hope you will find worthwhile to read. You’ll have a great reason to keep checking in on me during this month of marvels while I figure out how to navigate a Mac laptop. How does that sound ? I knew you’d love it. – Enjoy ! The Castle Lady

by John Galsworthy

Starry-eyed in April morn,
Rain bells glitter on the thorn.
Birds are tuning down down the lane
Patter song of fallen rain.

Spring can grieve but Spring can be
Very life of minstrelsy !

Gorse has lit his lanterns all,
Cob-webbed thrift’s a fairy ball,
Earth it smells as good as new,
Winds are merry, sky is blue.

from Moods, Songs and Doggerels

….with spring fever comes basket fever…
