Summer Solstice
Summer solstice
As Sun appeared to stand still in the sky
hence a Latin term solstice arised,
Summer sweltered till to fierce heat's wilt,
came closer to sun, earth with elliptic tilt,
Be it reason to season's conquest,
Summer solstice brought renewal and good harvest,
Fascination marked by the Stonehenge,
and Ireland's prehistoric newgrange,
Guru purnima, international surfing day or music day
Washington celebrates Fremont solstice parade,
Arctic circle sees sun on horizon during midnight,
as places north see sun 24 hours shining bright.
