Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

Certainly May

The browns from the winter
have all changed to green.
The harsh and sharp edges
are mossy and soft. 
The breeze is more gentle:
no clouds in the sky.
The robins are nesting;
the hawk is aloft.
The creek beds have water,
no longer harsh ice,
clear pools in the shade,
inviting and nice.
With sun on your shoulders,
a breeze in your face,
a feast for the eyes
joy rings in this place.
It’s temperate, delightful;
if I had to say,
one of my favorite months
is certainly May.

Sotto Poet May 9, 2022 at 12:57 PM Jeff, you've written a great poem about May. This was a great read for me.

Katharine L. Sparrow May 9, 2022 at 9:22 AM I agree! You've described the joys of this beautiful month poetically and lyrically. I love "with sun on your shoulders, a breeze in your face". Spring is slow this year, where I live, so I'm looking forward to this! Well done. Jeff Kyser May 9, 2022 at 10:01 AM Where is that, Katharine? We're in north alabama. Spring came early, brought out blossoms on the fruit trees, then we had a hard cold snap and lost most of our apricots, but the peaches made it through and look to be a good crop!
