Litha

Humid and hot
Scorching parking lot 
Longest day, shortest night 
Light and dark fight 
Shorts and tank tops 
Sandals and flip flops 

Cutting grass
Catching bass
Beaches and amusement parks 
Hungry sharks 
Summer-do’s
Badminton and horseshoes 

Green grass
Oaks and Sassafras 
Daisies and sunflowers 
Sun is up for hours 
Bonfires and torches 
People on porches

White, red, yellow, gold, orange, and green 
What a beautiful scene 
Lemon, orange, and rose
Litha strike a pose 
Power, creativity, and healing
Sights are appealing 



Brightness and inner power 
Stop to smell a flower
Litha is a scorcher 
Some think it’s torcher
Some think not
Wow, is it hot!
