I always loved English class, but I hated being told what to read and what to think about it. Now I'm always glad to come across literature without it being literature homework. Even though I took two more semesters of lit than I was required to take in high school. Anyway, doesn't this poem perfectly describe April? I noticed it here (gotta cite my sources, right?) and found the text here. Next Thursday is National Poem in Your Pocket Day, so this one might be a contender for me.
Always Marry an April Girl by Ogden Nash
Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.
