Notes About The Poem

Mount Fuji over Nemophila Fields in a Spring Morning

May's Knock On Summer's Door

For the Love of May Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich

"May is the month of promise and the sweet beginnings of summer." - Unknown

As the three sisters prepare for Summer
April, May, and June dance to the drummer
Each with a unique beat
Each brings a pretty treat 
But it's May that is the overcomer
The middle sibling is proud of her spot
Not rainy, wet, and cold, and not too hot
She wears the prom, wedding, and fresher look
And is filled with promises in her book
She threads the needle into a nice knot

I always enjoy personification of seasons. I too have done spring months as sisters. So cute, Connie. Congrats in my contest

Andrea, thank you for the cup of tea. I've always been enthralled with the names of the three sisters. I saw your blog and was depressed after cross referencing my poems with poem A-I checkers. I use Quillbot and trust those results. Once again thank you for being a great contest sponsor.
