Written for a poetry challenge with these words required: April fool, fun, prank, box, proposal, tears, trouble, moment...
April Fools’ Day
He thought it would be a fun prank
He offered her a ring box
A pretended proposal
She found it empty
And at that moment burst into tears
He found himself in trouble
He was truly the April fool
Did not see the challenge Regis. I like the emotional message within your poem. it is easy to be a fool, on any of the 365 days of the year. I personally have been proficient at it far too many times. May love and peace be always with you my friend. Jon Michael

A very clever poem, missed out on your challenge Regis...I'll take a raincheck!
Maybe we, there being so many of us, so much of the time, deserve an entire month ... Happy Fool Month ... we might have time to get it all out of our systems ...
April Fool
some think it's cool
to pull a prank...
on others rank
They say 'lets' but not me
this kind of proposal no fun
sometimes tears do run
so, for any moment on the clock
instead of trouble that mocks?
give me Jesus!
He's my...jack in the box!
FOR REAL, NEVER DID APRIL FOOLS. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS.
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,

hoping that giving her a ring box,
may seems cool, but instead it makes him the fool!
