Best Mayday Poems

As a child at play
In the merry month of May
Wallowing the hours away
As one would surely say

Lying neth old sweet gum tree…
sipping a glass of sassafras tea
A pork chop tied to my neck you see…
possibly the dog will play with me

The sky is my dominion...

May embraces Nature, once more
awakening our taste for love.
With Spring’s arrival, spirits soar
as high as the heavens above.

Tulips blossom into the bright,
rich, majestic colors of Spring.
And green sprouts amidst Winter's white
inspire songbirds to tweet and sing.

Gathering canes of wild roses;
we'd weave wreaths to hang on...

That's almost as good as sex, heard someone say
Bite your tongue, you silly, there's absolutely no way
Sex sits at the top
How could you forgot
The steam you emit from your ears screaming “Mayday!”

The last page in the final book of a series
is said to be a cliffhanger
the best part of an exciting adventure...
I feel I may be finished
I feel this may be the final pages
or just another sick twisted joke I've decided to conduct on myself
for I...

I feel like a hostage
on the centreline
of my life
 held captive on my own island
surrounded by shifting emotions
strangers come
and lovers go
is there a difference
how would I know
love breezes in
too close for comfort
mayday…mayday

Flashes of love frozen 
on the stop signs
of my life
turn here turn there
go faster…slow...

First day of May
When people gather in one circle
Workplaces become so quiet
But streets and junctions so noisy

Public facilities at stake
Also wives and kids

The aspirations come on behalf of God and human right
Labor right
Conveying to the authority and the power

The employer and rich men, being lose
As...

Although today’s the first of May,
It’s not the Mayday! people say
When they are under great duress
With stress they really can’t suppress.

This is a day to smile and prance
And frolic in a Maypole dance.
The sun is up, the flowers out
And spring is what it’s all about.

The...

Between God and the human race
is space. Oh,what brought us to this place?
I mean, He fashioned us to be near to Him,
to be His dearest friend, but a foreigner
entered in...... prominant and dominant,
that beguiling seductress........ sin.
Oh, that is something God simply can't stand....
like kryptonite to...

we are afraid
we are underpaid
minimum wage 
has  put us all at prison gates,there is no safe financial aid
for the working poor
they make sure we can,t get through the door

mortgages get  all our pay
our life;s are in a dismay
credit lead us astray
hidden rates ...

Mayday there's been a breach 
of contract
Someones not who you think

Did you see it comeing

Well it dosent mater now, 
Either way it's causing a stir
Theres sharks amongst theese 
waters
And the ships about to sink 
Where do we go
It's...

Mayday tomorrow, 
but the pole has been toppled,
the good earth churned by munitions,
and then seeded with Claymore mines.

There will be no dancing on rubble ruins,
as we bury desecrated corpses, 
this year’s harvest will be lean....
