Every Changing, Ever True

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.
