The Gardens of May

The garden now recovering from winter's barren ice cold begins to grow in April rain showers; lush with a multitude of greens a grace of earthen decor releases colors and scents floating in the breeze. Seaweed brightens into pickled crocodiles while juniper moss proliferates to olive sage pears; shamrock green glisten like emeralds in the chartreuse lime mints each wafting on the breath of lilacs. Lily of the valley peek up rushing in on heavy laden dew as honeysuckle blossoms aromatize the fields, a sea of lavender dances between mayapple and pear where wild mustard clusters in the in between with white, yellow, purpled violets rising everywhere. May is born anew a spring blushing in the shadowed light picture perfect awakening the garden in May.
