Remember This in May...

(sonnet # CCCCXXV)


When violets lift their darling faces, low
Amidst green grasses sprouting, drest in white
With purple, purple/white, all spotted, slight,
Aye lavendar, in shady places show
Their cheerful graces, carpets faeries throw
Down briefly in the Spring; when tulips' bright
Reds, yellows, pink-tinged whites in stately sight
With daffodils and hyacinths bloom, go
Again back to this day, where rough winds stir
The bushes, pines and firs while snow skips through;
Where o'ercast skies and bitter chill deter
The house-bound tread from vent'ring out; grey's hue
On New Year's Day; where azure peeks a pure
Face out sometimes, recall this little clue.
