Day 10: Ghazal of Snow in April

Until you see the plum trees drooping pink
You can not believe it would snow in
April

Or until you hear the crack of a branch breaking
You will not believe it could snow in
April

But certainly, when the pink petals mix with white flakes
You suddenly believe that it should snow in
April

The petals and the flakes settle over the fallen branch
You believe you should not see such good snow in
April

So you stand before another tree, waiting and watching
You wish the tree harm, but it withstood snow in
April

The tree is unharmed, but you suddenly find that
You have a mean spirit that misunderstood snow in
April
