The First Of May


The First Of May

© by Bud Lemire on May 1, 2013



The Yellow Rumped Warbler, and the Merganser Duck

Talk about my happiness, and a photographer's luck

Two Great Blue Herons, Bob's Cousins I presume

On the first of May, maybe Bob will come soon



Swans in the water, enjoying feeding time

While I zoom in, with this camera of mine

A beautiful day, and the first of May

Warmer temperatures are coming closer, every day



The fish flies are out, but they won't stay too long

And soon I will hear, the Yellow Warbler's song

The Robins are already, singing a beautiful tune

I look forward to this month, and the month of June



A Tern flies by, on the shore nearby

It sure has, such a very loud cry

Two Merganser Ducks, with the bad hair day

Dip in the water, they love to play



This May seems colder, than years in the past

But this cool season, won't always last

The sun is out, on this beautiful day

The wind is blowing, on The First of May



It was indeed a wonderful day when I wrote

this poem. I always love it when the birds

return to the area in Spring, and I see so

many appear, hoping to make their summer

a good one here in the Upper Peninsula of

Michigan. Thank God for birds.
