Poems About May

May is one of the most enigmatic months, so it’s no wonder that so many great poems have been written about this month. Depending on where you live, May teeters between Spring and Summer. Because of this, it usually gets the best of both worlds. Poems about spring, poems about summer, poems about beauty. May Poems have it all.

Why May Poems?

Any month technically has its own unique attributes, but May perhaps has the most. May flowers have long been a cornerstone for nature poets throughout history. Additionally, when reading poems about certain months of the year, we get to see how each poet gives their own unique spin on the month. We get to see what it means to them individually.

Wine Poems

Wine poems are some of the most relatable poems to read. Who doesn’t love a cup of wine every now and then? Certainly these poets have an appreciation. Pablo Neruda, Ted Kooser, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and many others have written about wine. We even feature a poem from Li Po written in 700 C.E. Wine poems are fun and timeless.

Why Wine Poems?

I think there is something so relatable to reading a wine poem. Drinking wine with your friends or having a single glass after a particularly long or hard day can remind you to take a moment and appreciate your life. Wine poems celebrate a lust for life, a desire for the finer things, a desire for friendship and camaraderie. Enjoy this small collection of wine poems!
