Addendum: April


I am guessing that  the curious and lovely-sounding 'quiddify' here is a likening of 'quiddity' which would mean the 'essence' of the month.  Alice Oswald's endeared and magical take on April. 



April - Alice Oswald

The sheer grip and the push of it - growth gets
a footledge in the loosest stems, it takes
the litterings of weeds and clocks them round;
your eyeballs bud and alter and you can't
step twice in the same foot - I know a road,
the curve throws it one way and another;
somebody slipped the gears and bucketed slowly
into the hawthorns and his car took root
and in its bonnet now, amazing flowers
appear and fade and quiddify the month;
and us on bicycles - it was so fast
wheeling and turning we were lifted falling, 
our blue-sky jackets filling up like vowels...
and now we float in the fair blow of springtime,
kingfishers, each astonishing the other
to be a feathered nerve, to take the crack
between the river's excess and the sun's.

  1. You don’t know how relieved I am right now. You all can contact SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST and be guaranteed your credit issues will be over. I have always not been very financially responsible and I want to change that. I wanted to know how I can boost my credit score, and if I would be able to get my credit score up to a good place so that I would be able to take out a mortgage this time next year. I accidentally missed a payment for my car insurance because I always put all my money into savings and take out what I need when I need, which was dumb because I forget to put money into the account when planned payments go through, this caused me to miss one of my insurance payments and I got a letter but I did pay it as soon as I got the letter, which was a few days later. It's not just this that has affected my credit score badly but other stuff has had minor effects. I was kind of panicking because it's a bad credit score. I was incredibly screwed. But everything eventually paid off when I met Safeport Credit Specialist through a reference online (May God Bless Him). His work rate, professionalism and discretion are top notch. He increased my scores and removed all the negative items that have been affecting my scores within 12 days. Which finally got me the mortgage for my house. Tell him Anna referred you to him.
