A Rainy May
At times it pours like a rain head shower
Making heavy with rain those delicate May flowers
Overcast days where the sun peaks out between clouds
Humid and swampy wiping your face with a towel
The grass so green grows extra long
Way pass time to mow the lawn
The trees leaf strong dancing in the breeze
Staying damp and cool enough to make you sneeze
The days are soft and the nights are warm
The robin hunts worms for a nest of newborns
No violent weather so far this May
With grateful prayers it stays that way
A dribble of raindrops the splatter of puddles
Rainbows appearing in doubles
The rhythm of the rain feels like a song
Eases you into a nap with a beat that is calm
A yawn and a stretch throughout the day
So it goes in a rainy May.
