"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
Mathilde Blind, April Rain
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
Mathilde Blind, April Rain

LEN Kind of Nice Idioms With Kindg Nice
Hello folks! I've just kicked off a session recently with other LEO members and commenced discussing few basic idioms commonly used by English Native speakers. Well, I do confess I'm not a totally fluent one when it comes to idiomatic expressions and this session could be really helpful especially to those who want to learn these words that are conventionally understood by native speakers. So, what are you waitin' for? Come on and join us!
For details on how to join us, please feel free to drop your messages via private message to me or @Lynne. See you there!

Yes Bhai! We look forward to seeing you there Mohit! @mohit_singh
This makes me reminisce the horrible connection I had before.
My pleasure pal! According to Ms Merriam (Merriam Webster), it means:
Which means, we are saying something that we haven't prepped up.
I'd like to share also some examples from Merriam's website per se.
