May Showers

I have been waiting for you through ages In your lingering aroma, dear rain For resplendent stories on green pages With a purple burst of May in my vein On soil of departure we come and play We the new green holding red blue and white In dew-like cool and warm showers of May The earth in foliage all lush and bright I laid in mild sun with my ear on soil Filled my lungs with April mingling in May Saw and heard the sounds of crimson uncoil Thousands of poems in the amber ray Of little pink that from May rain you share In tree and shrubbery how dreamy you’re ____________________________________________ May 3, 2017 May Showers – Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Nayda Ivette Negron

Thank you, Supraja ... the first two stanzas are what nature speaks ... the rest two of the poet ... Though you can jolly well understand that, still as I like to enlighten, hence this information ...
