May Is Feisty and Fun

I am a Gemini, born in May.
Some are June babies, but May to me is the real Gemini month.
May is May baskets, May Day, May pole, and my birthday month.
Some people have a birthday. I have a birth month – May.

We always get out of school in May, except that one year.
My sister and I always have a rainbow on our birthday, the last day.
The flowers are out in full force – daffodils, lilacs, rose of Sharon, violets.
Bunnies are hopping, squirrels are hanging upside down; it is spring!

Spring on her way to summer; this is May.
The grass is so green it makes you want to cry. This is May.
The sky so blue, it brings angels into your heart. This is May.
She is beautiful, clever, and coy, May.

She is tricky and mercurial, May.
She is feisty and fun – full of proms, parties, and graduations. May.
Wonderful, spectacular, marvelous, terrific lovely May!
My favorite month every year actually.
