Just Before April Came by Carl Sandburg
The Snow piles in dark places are gone.
Pools by the railroad tracks shine clear.
The gravel of all shallow places shines,
A white pigeon reels and somersaults
Frogs plutter and squdge--
Pools by the railroad tracks shine clear.
The gravel of all shallow places shines,
A white pigeon reels and somersaults
Frogs plutter and squdge--
and frogs beat the air
with a recurring thin steel sliver of
melody
Crows go in fives and tens;
melody
Crows go in fives and tens;
they march their black feathers past a blue pool;
they celebrate an old festival.
A spider is trying his webs, a pink bug
A spider is trying his webs, a pink bug
sits on my hand washing his forelegs
I might ask: who are these people?
