Notes About The Poem

                         

May Queen

As the music flows in my mind and soul, I dance around in the sun kissed fragrant fields, of wildflowers and tall emerald green grass. With a breath of life, the day is near, for I'm favored to be the prettiest maiden. All eyes will be on me in my white lace dress and closed shoes with my hair in curls and a crown of blossoms when I'm honored with the crown of May Queen a symbol of the stillness of nature around in which everything revolves. My friends and neighbors are all excited to be without daily chores. Towns and villages celebrating springtime fertility. Handsome couples gathering bouquets of flowers to decorate the whole town. Early bright is here with a clear blue unclouded sky. I lead the celebration up to the center of town. Old stone buildings and tables are beautifully decorated with redolence blooms. Populace displays all the elegance of their dress. Dress in white, carrying garlands of flowers children follow giggling and dancing. They place a crown of blossoms on my head, I say a speech that I have memorized and set off the festivities, with dance and merriment. Musicians play their musical instruments. Joy is overwhelming with eating, drinking, jubilant music, and curtly lovers dancing around the Maypole. Everyone enjoys crafts, games, and a banquet fit for a King as the music flows in my mind and soul. With a breath of life, I dance around the maypole favored for being the prettiest maiden, honored with being crowned May Queen.

Thank you, Emile, rewrote it because it didn't follow the contest. I tried revising this one for a couple of days and it wouldn't let me so I just entered another one to follow the specs, "Crowned May Queen" Blessings and hugs dear friend Eve
