Another June

Another June ...
Underneath the same sun,
Much like the last forty
And now its forty-one

Forty-one long years ...
Below the same sky,
The finches are still here
And somehow, so am I

To see the zinnia
Come into full bloom,
To see the sunset
Longer does it loom

To hang wet laundry 
Flapping in the breeze,
Where goes a bumble bee
Buzzing 'round my knees

Another June ...
Come and gone so slow,
Still, I am not sad ...
To see her finally go.

All that’s been said already: lovely work Kelly. I sense an air of sadness and longing in your words in the first two stanzas but then a more positive tone in the last two stanzas. June means different things to different people. I really like your rhyming. Cheers - Gary

Very true how it seems that June took her time this year. Miss hanging wet laundry and being outside- I live in a Sub division now and you miss out on so much that you enjoyed before!

Wear I live now we have two seasons; Hot and hotter. We are now in the hotter. I finally get it where Stevie Wonder named his album "Hotter than July". But the good thing is we have flowers Year around.

Your rhyming is impeccable, Kelly. We can't hold back time, but we can enjoy each day as much as possible. Great imagery.
