June

JUNE It was a strong wind A swath across the country May went out with a mighty hot exhalation Sitting here in a synthesis of senses I welcome June she of the powder-sweet presence There will be a tarnish or two I know She is no bleating lamb makes no apologies for her early fame After a bitter winter the torrent of spring I welcome her like the soothing Goddess she is

Nice personification of the month of June. Good use of sibilant alliteration in line Four! A good, creative write. Regards, Robert.

Yep. We have it too. 92 today and promises 94 tomorrow. Fortunately, I am down in weight, so the heat doesn't bother me quite as much. Love, daver

A lovely write, Daver! June is often overlooked by us.:( Warm, mellow and well deserving of this tribute. Yesterday we planted vegetales and herbs in the garden. The soil was warm and embracing...will make the plants happy, for sure! So wishing the best to you and yours! Love, Mikki

I can truly sense your pleasure of welcoming June, Daver. Winter months seem best where I live, but everyone else will join you in worshipping the "soothing Goddess." As for Jolie -- her beauty is stunning, lips and all. Envy builds within... Love, Carolyn
