Pretty forget-me-nots in month of May
Visited by faeries ever so bright
Honored by fireflies into the night
Gorgeous corsage made from sweetest nosegay
Admired by the prettiest of fey
Healthy plants twinkling with all of their might
Her red knock out roses showing white light
Hollyhocks bring their flirtiest sashay
Rain and sun bring forth a marvelous crop
Vegetables are so healthy and so fair
A magical place where pink faeries stop
A feeling of pure loveliness in the air
Marigolds preen their lacy ruffled fray
A gorgeous garden on a summer’s day
As I danced with flowers on that morn fair
And stepped on green moss, floating on air
You watched from under the pine green
Fire in your eyes, the air serene
Face flushed, arms extended wide
In and out with blooms on both side
Flirtiest breeze caressing the untamed hair
Enchanting aroma of wildflowers on the air
I paused as you came near
Shining eyes a hint of fear
A yellow bloom you stuck to my breast
The tingle in my toes reached my chest
Whimsical, wonderful our dance entwined
Rhythm unseen, hands tightly twined
Shimmering flowers with dew or sweat
As raindrops fall, we are wet
