a distant cousin

Summer
was a distant cousin
and the first to laugh

now there is rain
underneath the
creative flowering

April
Alas, was
February-like

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'Piltdown.' It was news to me (as is often the case with the OED offering!) that Piltdown was the home of a fossil skull hoax in England in 1912. Guess you had to be there. I would rather be in the South of France, so the sketch is of Antibes today. Happy April's Fool Day. Beware of silverware taped to the table.
