May

Hello Poetry Lovers

“May I what?” You might or might not ask.

This particular post is on the month of May, for once I’m a little bit ahead. However I was inspired by Joe Campling’s lovely piece about May and how we as people change with the seasons.

Prolific poet Joe has kindly given me permission to publish this lovely piece on here. Read on…

May

I think about May

It comes upon you without delay

The unsettled weather of April

Then suddenly the tomes so shrill

Of lawnmowers and smells of barbecues

But the shocking showers that surprise you

The flowers start to bloom

And you get out of indoor rooms

And hope to get some sun rays

On the brighter days

And hopes go up for the year

As you start to enjoy outdoor beers

And music punctures the air

As we make time to cut our hair

We plan our nonsense for bank holidays

Even though it always rains

But remain ever hopeful

That the sun penetrates onto our skull
