Poem for Beltane (from 2007)

Here’s to the ladies who dance the Maypole

Here’s to the men who enjoy it.

Here’s to the passion they raise in their spell

Here’s to the ones who employ it.

So let’s raise a glass to the Ladies of May

Let’s raise a glass to their lovers.

Raise the glass high to jumping the fire

Drink and jump under the covers!
