MAY

Blossomed-bedecked May;
hand-maiden of Summer
scattering petals in her path,
nourishes April’s infants;
green shoots of life, to create
bowers of colour
for her garden.

A gentle month,
a deep breath of contentment
setting the mood
for Summer to laze through
the long daylight hours;
a warm-up act for
the star turn, June.
