Poetry Sunday-Thoughts of May

Thoughts of May

 

 

Of mothers, bees and bright bouquets

These are the images and thoughts of May.

 

 

Warm breezes, green fields and children at play

These are the sights and sounds of May.

 

 

Butterflies, frogs and birds twittering away

All of nature moves to the rhythm of May.

 

 

Fireflies brighten the lazy dusk of the day

Time slows in the early evening of May.

 

 

And the indigo sky shows a sparkling display

As we rest and dream of tomorrow in May.

Special Note:  The native wildflowers pictured here are Virginia bluebells or Mertensia virginica.  They are not related to English bluebells, but are similar in appearance.  In the Language of Flowers, bluebells represent gratitude.  A perfect flower to give to mom to show your gratitude.
