James Tweedie Poet Villanelle

The Month That I Like Best

The month that I like best? It’s hard to say . . .
For January’s nice, and April, too;
But if I have to choose just one, it’s May.

In May, we celebrate Memorial Day!
But what of February, March—those two?
The month that I like best? It’s hard to say . . .

In May, there’s smell of flowers and fresh-mown hay,
September and October? Each their due!
But if I have to choose just one, it’s May.

In May, with longer days, more time to play!
In June, July, and August?  Skies are blue.
The month that I like best? It’s hard to say . . .

In May, the warmer days are here to stay!
November and December? Much to do . . .
But if I have to choose just one, it’s May.

In May, my Mom and Grandma made entrée!
And as for me, I, too, was born on cue.
The month that I like best? It’s hard to say . . .
But if I have to choose just one, it’s May.
