Hey April!

To the beat of the drum
We do march to the bottom 

The end of cold nights and black afternoons
I would see the rise of morning suns

In like a lion with the blood of the lamb
Tops round and spin, a rock rolls from a tomb 

Daffodils sprout green shoots 
Blue pills swallowed, no comments

Little warmer then back to cold
Not yet brittle ice for the swimming cod

Spring break, kids are free
It becomes a thing, like shouting fore 

Time to march again, love was last month
No rhymes or gifts just feet that march

Hey April!

This was for a dVerse prompt: we are writing in two lines stanzas as rhyming couplets thus:

Poetry Rules:

Write at least 12 lines of poetry in couplets
separate the poem into couplets of 2 line stanzas
the couplets must rhyme but only using half or para rhymes [see examples below]

Poetry Options:

write about a specific or imaginary couple written from the perspective of they or we
or choose the notion of two as a topic

I wrote this but didn’t notice the second part about the poetry options. So I had redo it to the prompt. But I liked this one enough that I’m putting it out there too. So go read my second attempt We/Them but enjoy this bonus as well! 😁
