I remember it well. The feeling was swell. It happened once a year; An event most precious and dear. The fragrance was in the air. It was still mid-Spring, but from the sky, There protruded the aroma of summer. I hasten to say, it was a beautiful first of May. And presently, I pause with warm affections, to reflect, To muse upon the emotions...

Chestnut curls Bouncing in a six-year-old way Long fat ones May Day Maypole magic Frocks of many colours Lavenders, blues, with frothy stiff petticoats Tall white socks to knees Crisp against flesh legs Shiny black patent leather shoes Innocence in a faerie's mind Each young maid wearing a garland of flowers, mostly daisies Some violets, holding spring softly in their palms First grade boys rolling their eyes, Tired...

Life Is Like a Maypole
The Maypole is as the Pillar of the community, Wrapped by ribbons of love. To be wrapped in love that comes from above; Is all I am thinking of. It happens in May the spring of the year; And by many this festivity is held near and dear. New birth, new life; the birthing of a soul, Is represented here by the...

Life Is Like a Maypole
Ribbon as red as blood floating in the air The blowing wind gives it a bit of a flair The yellow one beneath it waving the other way As though it wants to be left astray. Is not our lives that way I truly envision Yet looking closely it needs supervision. The green ribbon twisted to the pole For this dance this...

The Maypole of Life
The dancers weave, their threads are wound; some gold, some red, some darkest brown. Their cords (our lives) spun to the sound of Mother Earth changing her gown. Some gold, some red, some darkest brown; the ribbons pull us round and round as Mother Earth changes her gown. Fine patterns form, colors compound. The ribbons pull us round and round while time keeps counting...
