Hi LIJ:
It seems that April is throwing all sorts of cantankerous weather systems at you, as well as us here in Alaska. Thanks for the Author's note, I had forgotten the lead into Chaucer's Canterbury Tales until you mentioned it, but I remember reading that long ago. What an inspired title!
Great job!

Thanks very much for reading and reviewing. As you can see, I have a ways to travel before I am lord and master of the seventeen syllable poem...
Comment from tfawcus
Unseasonable weather to be sure. How fickle April can be. I thought your title rang a distant bell with me. It's a long time since I read any of Chaucer. My main memory from schooldays is of sniggering at the Miller's Tale.

Our puritanical educators stopped after the knight's tale, with some references to the Wife of Bath, but I spotted a paperback on sale later...
I am still trying to pry into the science of 17 syllable works...thanks for reading...
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed reading your poem, Red. Good job on the syllable count per line and the message. I believe you are referring to the time when winter tries one last time to show itself but is defeated by this year's April Son--Jesus (Easter). We usually have a cold spell on Easter that freezes the blossoms on fruit trees and the budding leaves that open to soon. But this year we are to have 90* Easter Sunday. Good job and thanks for sharing. Jan

The familiar Easter chill is called the Easter Snap here...sometimes it causes vast losses to the apple farmers...I am still trying to figure out this 17 syllable stuff. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hi Red. Your series of 5-7-5's is excellent. I like all of the stanzas and the term "Easter Snap" as well as the timely "April Son." Good luck in the contest with this fine entry. Marilyn

I am trying to learn the art of creating poems in the seventeen syllable format...not just broken sentences...thanks very much for reading and reviewing this outburst.

You have a unique way of injecting an atmospheric ambiance into your poems which I adore and I could feel that Easter snap break the spirit of winter here, your words are always so enjoyed, real poetry from your pen, love Dolly x

Thank you for reading and reviewing...it was exactly frost temperature on my porch Easter Sunday at daybreak(38 F) which is unseasonably cold for Georgia
Comment from moongirlwriter
The hills are alive for sure. . .just stand by a river and you might as well not try to talk. the sound is overwhelming but filled with the sounds of April and spring. I'm ready. Nicely written, excellent flow. . .no pun intended. :)

I am attempting to decipher the science of the seventeen syllable poem. I fear I have far to go. Thanks very much for reading and reviewing my suite of five seven fives!

Comment from James Upshaw
The imagery here is quite wonderful. I am not entirely sure what this poem is about but I caught glimpses here and there into its meaning. Easter and the April Son rising seem to be referring to Jesus. Very good!
