Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Happy May Day

Happy May Day, the 1st of May
I remember in childhood, when we would play
We would make handmade baskets and fill them with flowers
Then leave them on doorsteps, ring the bell and run!
Knowing our neighbors would be surprised
With an unexpected gift on their steps, Happy May Day! HAVE FUN!
