June

June lets her hair down
Down, down, to the ground!
Long and lush, like the grass between my toes

May

May, hey, it’s May!

Spectacular in it's simplicity and clarity. Robert Frost would be proud. Special imagery. The words let the mind play. Poems like this are enjoyable because they present without forceful insistence. I would love to read other poems by this master. Congratulations!
