Festival In May

The season’s fest imbues a bliss As the grove blooms in morning’s kiss; Where dainty festoons are aglow Through springtime’s reign, young couples flow Along bright paths, they reminisce. The wind blows with scent of flowers A lyre's music thrilling the hours When gents kindle bold courtship's fire, And lilies flaunt their gold attire To charm pairs dancing in wonder. Sweet talk and laughter fill the air Oh gaiety rises everywhere, Heady as tulips and wreaths unfurl While ladies tiptoe like bough's curl; On the first day of May’s affair. Dusk slowly wafts to end the sighs From misty lanes, dewdrops arise; Hands on petals begin to rest Enshrining time’s grace at its behest, Till morrow comes for a new surprise!
