April Allergy

I must be mistaken, thought spring was the season
for growth and renewal. It's not a good reason
to dwell on the dry thorny branch of desires
long dead when instead we could light some new fires.
Though we're all fools for love moving on is not treason,
please dig for another emotion to seize on;
if I read one more poem of lost loves in past lives
what is now just an itch will become full-blown hives.


, okay, now that that's off my mind I'll think on it again.

This was clever and fun. I like what you did with the rhymes. There were a couple patches where the meter caught me but it was a smooth read overall.

Thanks for posting.

Hot rays breed car rage,
twice my size half my age,
foolish ways dumb days.

Drunk too much acting tough,
said his girl looked a bit rough,
foolish rebuff slapped hard enough.

The Doctor said its not right,
for a man my years to fight,
foolish sight but I'm not that bright.

Nice. This is the perfect fool story, Keith.
