A Rainy Day in May
by P.T.K. Vasquez
Watery diamonds on magnolia leaves
reflecting the pearl-laden sky;
behold a world of breathing green
like nectar to the eye.
Damp and quiet and vernal,
and the mountains in rhinestone dress;
rabbits feast in white meadows
while the harsh sun is at rest.
Limbs dance to the breeze’s song,
stirred by its kindly voice;
under a sweet ivory sky
the world finds pause to rejoice.
