Mirage

March on, April, and may
irises counterpose
raring purples yellow
As gray clouds in sun dance
Gentling storms rain mellow…

March on, April, and may
endearing pinks breezy
move magic carpet rides
In petals morphed to leaves
Rufous plum branches hide…

March on, April, and may
amaryllis buds dew
gleaming in your cool drops
Elegantly bleeding
Massive red, makes hearts stop…

March on, April, and may
iridescence fly by
restless in moody hues
A meld of hot and cold
Great hope’s mirage are you!

Susan, this is so expressive flowing with color in "moody hues" and images. So many inventive word choices. Congratulations on your win! All the best.

the way you inserted the other meaning of may (the modal) in place of the month's name was simply brilliant. GReat imagery. Big congrats in my contest, Susan.
