I, the May baby…
I want everything blue
Light blue to match the summer skies
Dark blue like lakes at dusk
All the ocean’s hues
Blue, the color of my eyes
Clothing, notebooks, bedroom décor
Everything in shades of blue
So…
Imagine my disappointment
Learning that my birthstone is green
I once sought the lovely sapphire
But no—imposter!
I am absolutely May in everything I am
And so, in all things representative
Of my birth month, I shun the blues
And don the finest greens
So shines the emerald on my finger
So shines the emerald against my throat
Though I confess
I always seek those stones
With hints of blue in the green
I am May
But I am also blue
It's my birthday month...
May The 4th Be With You!
Since I had to get older, show me a little love by clicking that heart below...
Tips, while never mandatory, are certainly VERY appreciated.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
