I think this is a good entry for the National Poetry Month writing prompt.
Your April Fool Poem is a lovely kick off for the poetry month, and a nice tribute to your son.
Well done and good luck to you with the competition.
Sharon

No fair, Christine! You are a day ahead of us slow pokes in the Northern Hemisphere. That said, congratulations to you for joining the NaPo. A poem a day keeps writers block away, or so I'm told.

Gorgeous photograph and a lovely poem to get you off to the start of an exciting month.

How fun to have a special day for your birthday. I hope he didn't suffer too many jokes on his birthday! I'm sure he must have a great sense of humor. Fun poem and great picture of both of you!

So this neat poem, April Fool, is a great way of wishing your son a Happy Birthday. I guess he ought to be the trickster since he is THE April Fool (respectfully).
