May Happy-Dance

A two-fer today

to celebrate the first day of May,

possible in part because it is raining and in part

because its the first 'free' morning in a while...

So it's a happy-dance under an umbrella😊😊

(most of the lines in this poem

are still 'eager anticipation'

so no photos...yet!)

Happy, happy greens and golds

Branches, blossom-kissed

Happy buds that burst with holds

Pink and amethyst

Happy sun-warm afternoon

Picnic getaway

Happy harbinger of June

Happy, happy May

Happy planting season’s prime

Praying that it grows

Happy hope and dreaming time

Picture-perfect rows

Happy tulip’s regal cup

Set on grand display

Happy raindrop-fill-’er-up

Happy, happy May

Happy silver zephyr-sass

Azure heaven-vault

Dandelion-dappled grass

Laughing summersault

Happy good-and-perfect-gift

Robin’s lusty lay

Cumulus schooners adrift

Happy, happy May

Happy hint ‘o-heaven dells

Lilac lavished bars

Lily-of-the-valley-bells

Forget-me-not stars

Wildly blushing apple-trees

Countryside’s nosegay

Rambling brookish melodies

Happy, happy May

Happy longer-days-again

Happy riverbanks

Hosting happy fishermen

Happy, humble thanks

For woodland’s shy, half-leaf haze

Nature’s hip-hooray

For earth’s million hymns of praise

Happy, happy May

For vim, rested and renewed

After winter-spent

For gladness of gratitude

Daffodil content

Happy carefree, barefoot child

Happy work-and-play

Happy worship, wonder-wild

Happy, happy May

Kick off shoes, kick up your heels

Happy young-always

Happy everything that steals

Our breath and gaze

Happy song and happy-dance

Happy livelong day

Happy people, pets and plants

Happy, happy May
