As the Ecliptic Turns: May
Every eight minutes I'm bathed in light
One month along our world's ecliptic
23 degrees align so right
Toward biochemistry eclectic
Pheromones precipitate
Out of proteins to which they're bound
Hormones exacerbate
Ushering each, to others, found
The month brings the wind
Blowing the cautions that are thrown
To let debauchery out from in
For reaping wild oats sown
A special photosynthesis
Angles with lighted, lusty slivers
Unique to those days of fickleness
Igniting the takers and givers
Knowledge of good and evil
And committing acts right or wrong
Are not products of moral upheaval
But airs, Earth, orbits along
Verdancy in May is more than green
And Spring is more than time
Ambrosia in the æther machine
That lets us savour sublime
Mayflowers

Mai challenge @KyleSmithLaird
May
May is a month of sunshine. A month to pamper your mother or to remember her if she's no longer there. May is a month to memorialize our soldiers. May is a month of sunshine and flowers. May is a month to cherish what we have. We begin with May Day and we end with Memorial Day. In the middle there is everything from Teacher Appreciation Day, Cinco De Mayo, National No Pants Day (quite a fun one), Mother's Day, Peace Officer's Memorial Day (I didn't know about), National Missing Children's Day, International Hug Your Cat Day and National Smile Day. The Month of May is filled with days to remember and make you just feel good. It is a month of sunshine and happiness. So get out your sunglasses and get ready for a fun filled month. Even if there are people you are missing whether it be a mother, a grandmother or a family member that served in the military there are ways to remember them in a way that would make them. happy as well!
