An Early Day in May
May soothed
? sensual breeze caressing.
Snug, she cooed in floral chroma;
Gave artistic license ? dressing up
Pubescent fields, teenage woods,
Jaded lanes; embellishing
Craggy watersides.
Warmth was kind ? sun tempered,
Lifting life; erecting bluebell swathes
For good measure: late-spring treasure.
At hill?s base
A mirrored lake, brooding,
Bathed in halcyon haze ?
Yet hectic life scurried,
Spurred on by procreating drive,
To see it all survived another year.
Back home, garden tulips flared,
Thrust aloft on rigid stems, and
Under day-time brilliance,
Open goblets, clustered,
Sought out heavenly guidance ?
Lauding hallowed Tulipa gods.
May is Nature?s intermission ?
Bridging April?s go-ahead
With hothead June.
