Welcome to Myths & Months!
Journey back in time to the world of classical mythology.
As we move through the year, each month has its own poem,
inspired by the great myths and linked to seasonal changes.
Experience the play of imagination that created mermaids in
the sea and immortals on mountain tops. Re-connect to the fun
of timeless tales told in rhythm and rhyme. Enter the amphitheatre
and coliseum of your mind. Ride Pegasus (the feathered
horse of poetic inspiration)! Fly on the wings of imagination to a
time when every beast and bird, fish and flower, was touched by
divine possibility--when the natural world was a garden of the gods!

"THE JEWELS OF SPRING: A Myth for May"
The butterflies on topaz wings bedazzle sapphire days
As nuzzling bees rub ruby lips of roses till they blaze
Sweet Maia and great Ceres bless each blossom, grain, and vine
And spread the fragrant jewels of spring to welcome Proserpine
About the Myth...
May is named for the Roman goddess Maia, mother of Mercury,
who wears a winged cap and shoes. Pluto, Lord of Underworld
and gems, kidnaps Proserpine, daughter of Ceres, goddess of agriculture.
Pluto tempts Proserpine with jewel-like seeds and makes her Queen
of the Underworld but allows her to return to her mother each spring.
The joy of their reunion creates May flowers - the jewels of spring.
