Daver Austin Poet Free verse

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

Michelle Mac Donald June 6, 2011 at 2:40 PM 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 Daver Austin June 7, 2011 at 11:31 AM Check your mail. Love, daver

Carolyn Devonshire June 6, 2011 at 11:18 AM 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
