MADNESS IN THE SPRING A little Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King, But God be with the Clown— Who ponders this tremendous scene— This whole Experiment of Green— As if it were his own! — Emily Dickinson, Poem #1333 (1875) ******************************************* Response Poem: JOYFULNESS IN THE SPRING A lot Joyfulness in the Spring Is awesome for the Fool to sing— Seeds the Rod has sown— Who wonders this beauteous Queen— This Soul Merriment so serene— Blooms into a gorgeous gown! — Peter Y.
