    Poem 14 Sontoum -- A1 B1 A2 B2/ B1 C1 B2 C2/ C1 D1 C2 D2/ A1 A2

    Hooray for May (Sontoum)

    December is always so very lame
    Compared to May, when flowers bloom again,
    Then I just sit and look for one to blame -
    The poison Ivy, or bee’s precious pain.

    Compared to May, when flowers bloom again
    July is sad -- abundant, then, they fade:
    The poison Ivy or bee’s precious pain
    Will soon depart like summertime parade.

    July is sad -- abundant, then, they fade:
    Beach outings, birds and my courageous finds
    Will soon depart like summertime parade
    As Mother Nature pulls her winter blinds.

    December is always so very lame
    Then I just sit and look for one to blame.

    Hi leslieAlexis... this poem is a slightly new look on the seasons, but the blame is a bit misplaced... though quirky in a silly way. I like the best, when Mother Nature pulls her winter blinds... that's a good line. You did succeed in the Form of this poem, a difficult repeat and flow... so good job there too.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
