May brings flowers after April's rain. That line i have read and heard many times. But it is not quite applicable to my clime. The truth is in May the shrubs, in the gardens may carry more blooms than they did before. They are always flowering. Then comes the June rains. The true rains of the Rainy Season. Floods in some areas with loss of roof and furniture. I feel certain in such areas residents will question the fates -For how can I be sure I shall see again the world on the first of May

Using the line “For how can I be sure I shall see again The world on the first of May” –From “May Day” by Sara Teasdale 
Prosery is a dVerse term for prose incorporating a given line of poetry. This can be either flash fiction, nonfiction, or creative nonfiction, but it must be prose! Not prose poetry, and not a poem. And it must be no longer than 144 words, not including the title. (It does not have to be exactly 144 words, but it can’t exceed 144 words.)

  2. But I do love the rain in your climes, and yes it does pour.....I remember in eastern Nicaragua, and Honduras that problem...was so nice though, but that doesn't sound nice to say....and the colours, yes!

  3. So many flowers, but I can imagine with the heavy rain and hurricanes, one may wonder if they will see May again. Thank you, Gillena!

  5. A climate where shrubs bloom year-round sounds like paradise, and I'm sure the bees love it. The flood risk sounds a little scary.

  6. Super rainy here, and a chill. Does seem to match the mood this year. Here's to hoping we can all find sunnier outlooks for the remainder of 2022.
