Haiku Series: May Day
May, in Woodland Setting
MAY DAY
April steals away,
May arrives, sunny splendor.
All the world's abloom!
April steals away,
May arrives, sunny splendor.
All the world's abloom!
THE GARDENS
Tulips, daffodils,
Forsythia abounding
May's garden delights
THE WOODLANDS
Maples, birches, oaks
Branches, once bare, now leafy
May's verdant splendor.
THE FRONT YARD
Bright sunlit front yard,
Warm gentle breezes carry
May's flowery aromas.
