Emerald May

EMERALD MAY The humble Hawthorne blossom bright Like snow upon the hedge is seen Sweet May, is clothed in jade and white Now winter’s chills are put to flight The bride of Spring sheds shades of night And dons a dress of Emerald green To greet the Sun her Summer Knight Who bows before his beauteous Queen

Andrea, many thanks for your kind tolerance for my attempted triolet for which I misunderstood the format. I have submitted another, I hope correct version, though I realise it is too late for your contest. C’st la vie!
