May Day Memories: A Poem

I remember May Days from my childhood
When we would dance around a Maypole,
But I don't remember anyone
Saying we were celebrating a worker's holiday.

I remember May Days from my childhood
When Grandpa would take us to The Lake
Where we would swim, fish, and water ski
While Grandma and Grandpa watched
Us from the boat or the dock.

Inhaling tranquility
Exhaling stress
Counting each breath
I doze off after three

3

Saxophone, guitar,
And piano are jamming:
The optometrist office

4

Do I hear gunshots
Or just a car backfiring
No sirens echoing

5

Trash collection day
Garbage trucks are patrolling
My neighborhood

6

Happy Mothers' Day
May all your memories be
Tear producing joy

7

Remember Mama
Her love for scarlet roses
Chocolate candy

8

Remember Grandma
She enjoyed baking cookies
For her grandchildren

A windy morning
A little bit chilly but
Nice all the same.
