Notes About The Poem

Outside my living room window, May 6, 2022

A Day In May

May fashions days it will unveil;
and there exists one which I hail.
For me, it stands out from the rest-
for proof May came- it is the best.

Outside my window, grows a tree
that blooms each year- now fifty-three.
When dogwood blossoms open wide-
May bares her beauty- amplified.

Andrea Dietrich May 15, 2022 at 1:26 PM I love how you write so perfectly with your sentence structure and all other elements such as punctuation, meter and of course, the message. I too have a tree that blossoms almost always on the exact same day each year (only in April) so I really related to this one. Congrats on a great placement in my contest.

Wendy Watson May 15, 2022 at 1:21 PM Beautifully written as always,Sandra. You raised a smile with your wonderful portrayal. I hope the scent is as wonderful as the tree's appearance.
