May...It's here, It's here
That lovely time of year.
Heavy laden boughs that bloom
It's time to sweep away the gloom.
Love is sweet and in the air
Birds are nesting everywhere
Smell the Lilacs heady perfume
Blossoms brighten up the room
New life swells within each form
Nature replenishes with each baby born
See the gangly fawn with spotted coat
Rabbit, Chipmunk, Fox and Stoat.
Woodlands reflect a sky so blue
Forest floor is an Azure hue.
Bluebells dip their lovely bells
To the earth where new life swells
May Day maidens shine with pride
As they stand at the May Queens side.
Flowers, flowers everywhere
Decorate each Maidens hair
May poles on each village green
Morris dancers skip and preen
Ending up a fun filled day
In the Merry month of May
JKS April 2012.

You know, I think Morris Dancers are awesome. They don't get enough credit. I used to really enjoy seeing them perform at the Dickens Christmas Faire in San Francisco. I'm told that in England it's "uncool" to do. That's too bad. In Ireland, people have a lot of respect for the traditional dancing here. I think it's really important for people to embrace their culture & heritage.
