Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Skyfoam Waltz

Written: May 06, 2026, for contest sponsored by Andrea Dietrich

Quote 4. "May, queen of blossoms, and fulfilling flowers, what pretty music shall we charm the hours?" - Lord Edward Thurlow

                     *******************

May brings a breath of brisk bloom,
soft sprigs sing their hymns to doom.
Her petals plait the spans in gold,
and the warm air cast a charming hold.
She graces the day with limpid light,
a whispered tune, and the swamps ignite.
With sky-foam drift and meadow's gleam,
she waltzes shakily into a dream.

Sara Kendrick May 6, 2026 at 4:59 PM This May has been a little unusual probably because it is following an unusual April. I really enjoyed reading this one. It reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Sara K

Hilda Greenhough May 6, 2026 at 4:07 PM I love the personification of May. I enjoy how your words paint a gentle picture of May, a month that can waltz in the beauty of spring. Great job.
