May Moments 3

Competition
Distraction;
Extension


This May Day pause
Labour rests;
Just a moment


Holiday calm
Before the storm;
Breakaway norms


Slow stroll strides
Mini-mart long queue;
Confront waiting charade


Purchase in tow
Two full hands struggle;
Bear laden stuff homewards


Newspaper vendor waits
Sidewalk corner bench;
Newsprint in stacks


All the printed news
You can buy;
A curious read indeed


Fruit ready-cut
Grab some on-the-go;
Eat as you fly past


Lazy moods fling
A strange sway;
Not much to do


Dogs on leash
Owners chit-chat;
About doggie demeanour


Tiny tots run
Awkward steps taken;
Adults rush to help
