So lovely a day
in devotion to May
1.
Come into the rose garden
Part the hedge row
People of the garden
Climb the foothills
Find your way
to be there
In a vast rose garden
on the first day of May
Palimino roses
astound
Subtle rolling hillside
perfect for picnic
Tea roses state their case
Shadey breezey stairways
on a sort of hot day
A crown for
King of the May
Roses,
beautiful,
mystical,
commonplace
Kral Majales
himself
A silent girl passed by
my staircase picnic spot,
Into the amphitheater
The wind stirred
an elephantine leaf
Revealing
the flowers beneath
I migrated to a sunny bench
with a modicum of shade
Someone had left there
a mysterious box
Shells, poems,
and a note card inside,
"Take me with you"
I did
"Take me with you"
I did
All the delight
of a day in the garden
in bloom
Colors call out
to my sensitivity
White roses
march on
like beings
After a lull
a breeze would
utter fragrance
I make my valediction
to begin my slow descent
The uprush
of life force
lifts my spirit with it
Astonished,
by a psychedelic rose
By an on-coming Iris
its rare and splendid hue
One never passes
the same tree
twice
2.
Spring formal
I'm in the mood for
something fitting
in formal-ware
The gold shoulder,
but I think I wore it
last year
Hmm, pink pin-stripe
with a drape,
nice but not
really me
First thought
best thought,
Maybe I'll go with
the red
Automobile-powered,
spinning wheel,
Fairy tale fabulous
Impromptu grace,
Evensong by Byrd and Weekes
Last stop before heaven
1 May 2016
