maypole in winter?
blindfolding fog folds and cold ~
ribbons of rays rage

The Maypole fell out of fashion
Due to a lack of compassion
Invited to bed
"Get knotted!" girls said
"Weaving ribbons is our passion!"...

As we keep feeding our food hole
And dancing around the maypole
Down memory lane
Ends much the same
Recalling the years that have taken their toll...

Celebrate Sunday
Unwind built up stressfulness
fly kite on a windy day
Wrap Maypole on Mayday
Monday called, "Hurry back to work"

Children are celebrating
Because spring is in the air
Dancing around the maypole
Donning flowers in their hair

Enjoying Earth’s new rebirth
Spring’s artwork on display
Birds are vibrantly singing
From the excitement of May Day...

Life is a maypole 
Where is that pole?
Life is a maypole 
Where is that goal?
Life is a maypole 
Where is the flicker?
Life as a maypole 
Why do we toil?
Life as a maypole 
What's my role?
Life as a maypole
Make that call, it's never late...

She smiled to hear the merry sound
as Morris dancers pranced around;
her foot now tapping to the drum,
she felt so glad that she had come
to see the Carnival of May
and Maypole-dance her cares away!

One day in May, the shadowed oak -
the lovey-doveyness, it spoke.
Its foliage in zephyr rush.
of coquette prettiness; it’s blush.
Under God’s eye, unseen choir brings
a lofty cheeriness with wings,
a maypole merriment of tweets,
its honey biz of plaited beats....

Painted sky cascades down to touch 
a green velour carpet.

Green Man asks for a dance and an elated crowd
engages the maypole.

As young leaves stretch tips to grasp sunlight
newly birthed buds yawn.

Gaia beams with pride;
another birthday for her children brings boundless joy....

winged plump putti descend cumulus clouds....
silvered in a spring rainstorm

they flit round maypole....lavender satin streaming
i'm awed in hammock

my love he's raptured to....twilight moonrise my
quick a plundered vessel

hope of the roses had dreamt....of reunion for arc
of hearts to soar...

The pole stands long and sturdy
at the village centre old
the ribbons lay afloat
red,blue,green and white
some bright and others light
of which people grasp and frolick.

Life is like a maypole
varied paths to take
happiness and sad times
of which it is a part
either vibrant or bland
we hold on no matter what.

Too many 
flags flying overhead
Too much 
    false patriotism
There is a deeper optimism
which we can realize 
if you look 
   into the soul 
      of our
200 year old country
      life 
blooms 
     on the 
other side ot the 
   fence
      yes, let's dance
around a maypole
   For you see, 
       it's time to 
win 
   the battle 
    for AMERICA...

Joyful singing and laughing people dancing,
Celebrating around the maypole, clapping,
First of May and the Morris Men are prancing,
Partytime and the music’s so toe tapping.

Birthday girl, you are crowned with pretty flowers,
Ev’ry May is your month, come sun or showers,
Fairies gather as dusk is slowly falling,
Mayday feasting is always so enthralling.

Jack Horne for Linda-Marie’s May Magic birthday greeting...

May, we, with joy, do a Maypole dance!
And all lovely birds fly and sing!
After all, it is, delicious Spring.

And all lovers kiss in pure floral bliss!
Swimming in fresh, verdant, flowing 
springs.
Lost, yet found, in  loves meanderings.

Let butterflies gleefully waltz as they may!
And free, maskless children , run and play.
In our God’s sweetest month, of May.

Life is you and me

holding hands

while the earth go's around 

each of us you see.

life is like a maypole

if we are strong at heart

with family or friends

we always stick together 

until the very end.

life is like a maypole

a simple smile will do

to get each of us through.

life is you and me

no matter what your problem is

don't let go,

just go with God flow-- because

life is like a maypole...

I'll weave my thoughts into dreams of glory.
Just maybe I'll inspire with my story.

This journey long on a pebbled road.
Still the view makes light this uphill load.

Now I see skies of azure blue.
Plenty of beauty to see me through.

Come with me and promenade.
Step out from the gloomy shade.

We shall skip to a brand new beat.
No desolation or defeat.

Fingers of joy cascade from above.
A marvelous dance of genuine love!

Back in the day we had a maypole on May Day
We created May baskets out of doilies and construction paper
I loved adding bits of ribbon, aluminum foil and glitter.
We decorated them like Valentines boxes.
Filled them with tiny candies popcorn and violets.
It was fantastically fabulous, and I loved it!
Why did I have maypoles and May baskets?
Was it because I lived in a small town? Was it because of my mother?
Was it because we knew all of our neighbors back in the day?...

Saying to them, I know that you wish to sell unto myself 
Your chrysalis cures modern day vaccines maypole moments 
Amid white diamonds and mascara, visions ? But, I really hate sin so
Pawn it to one another is what I thought in recycled to speak yet 
Let the weeds be and write it in a bill to push unto these networks ? Tossing 
My cigarette upon the ground and downing a beer as I smiled then added 
Thanks for the promotion; while I pulled up my sleeve and mainlined their malaria....

The ring of the sun 
                                      Spring to their steps young mayflies
                                         Singing and  flinging  their love
                                                 To rainbow streamers
                                             Prancing and capering elves
                                              And frisky kittens of earth

Master Weaver weaves a life for with care for every thread	
First one strand is woven, sometimes white and sometimes red  	
Way up and down our life goes much like a Maypole dance     	 
Though it has been planned before, we think it’s all by chance  	
When new things come our way we decide which way to go 	   	
Over or under were speeding round and round we sew    	   	
With us He weaves a pattern seen just when life is done  	  	
Weaving us a wedding gown the glory of the Son...

Oh, the memories of yesteryears
Many were filled with happy tears

Unaccompanied by painful fears
Laughter and chatter filled our ears

Time must not be allowed to steal
Those sacred times that also heal

Those years spent with childhood peers
Like a May Day plaiting of the Maypole

Such thoughts of yesteryears never grow old
Although growing old with hairs turning gray,

I am warmed and embraced this quiet morning,
as I think about the upcoming first of May.
