Month of Fools

The Month of Fools has
come round again,
straddling the threshold
of winter and spring.

Daffodils bend
beneath snow flurries,
and blossoms scatter
from bitter storms.

But look again,
and there’s the sun,
teasing us fools
and spreading confusion.

Is this the best month
to be born a poet?
Or simply the cruellest of all?
