Life Is Like a Maypole

From a roulette of colored bands,
sewn by the pole of Maytime’s cheer
round and round, we dance lively swirls
encircling the gilded carousels.
Floats of laughter merrily wafts
as jiggling arms  offer  Spring’s pleasure,
through music warmed by folks beaming
under one sun,  we  form a ring.
And bouncy the prance, left to right
each cluster of hands  on dressed bows
where hearts blend from a season’s glee,
to reap life’s gift of harmony!

Love the happy magical feel of this one. I can just picture giggly young girls weaving in and out with their ribbon streamers.
