May Day

Children are celebrating
Because spring is in the air
Dancing around the maypole
Donning flowers in their hair

Enjoying Earth’s new rebirth
Spring’s artwork on display
Birds are vibrantly singing
From the excitement of May Day

Had forgotten all about this being May Day. I used to dance the maypole at school; it wasn't an easy task. Thanks for the memories. Great piece, Anna.
