silver salmon swim upstream

The dying inside:

Myopic windows;

daylight fading

on a glass table top;

dead flies milling,

unaware....

The grey sky

suddenly awakes....

summer solstice

Shimmering in the heat of the sun
Time stretched golden landscapes
Summer solstice, sunrise to sunset
Yellow orb sinking in fluorescent sea...

The summer solstice
in years past so much welcomed...
now there's foreboding:
soaring temps, wildfires, drought...
idyllic days are numbered....

summer solstice
verdant landscape-sandy beach
families frolic

summer showers
heat and humidity reign
sunlight lingers

temperatures lag
cheerful chirping of crickets
summer’s last gasp...

Sunward tilts the Earth;
steals away last shade of spring–
sempiternal day…

summer solstice moon
bright as an oncoming train
pressing silver light
into my glistening pint
carving stark shadows from the night

                Sun up in the sky
                The longest day of the year
                Looking in for growth
                Sitting and manifesting
                Welcome to Summer Solstice...

In Vietnam, Korea, and China, it's a popular treat
To slaughter your dog at summer solstice and eat the meat
It brings luck and frolic
Included are alcoholics
Quite a celebration as well as many tears as they eat...

Summer Solstice looms  		  
hot climate of the year booms	
vacationers like			
longest hours of daylight		
season of bird’s paradise.

Evening about you reminds me of the Sun
You are light and diaphenous warm and sultry
Like a thousand summer solstice or alchemists spells
You are as bright as Venus the morning star
I would like to bathe in your sunny afternoon's

Sun has set now.
Under full moon
Many excited fairies
Marching together
Encircle fairy tree.
Revelry begins.

Solstice night.
Offering thanks.
Leprechauns join in.
Song and dance.
The fiddlers prance
In and out among
Caotic scenes of
Energetic shenanigans.

The sea laps the shore,
whilst the sand receeds into
its cold blue temptress.

Oystercatchers sqwark,
their long beaks beaconing
the summer solstice.

Upon the clifftops,
weathered walkers feel the breeze,
adrift by sundown.

June’s Strawberry Moon

A pink strawberry super moon so bright
proclaiming summer solstice with her charms,
announces that the time in June is right
to hold your baby in your loving arms
beneath her pink strawberry beams tonight.

lonely canicular days hot
temperatures sunny weather
midsummer picnic days outage
lemon aide, potato salad
mosquitoes, ticks, flies all over
canicular summer solstice 
soon in few weeks shall be autumn;

As
Winter
Approaches
The sun ascends
From the left of east, 
And sets due left of west. 
During daylight hours sits low, 
After winter solstice, gains height. 
Peaking when summer solstice arrives 
Then starts its orbital journey once more.

Sprinklers arc
white rainbows
over emerald grass
The jets 
burst
in nimbus shadows
geysering 
a shimmer 
of translucent flurries
under opal rays
Pools
of periwinkle ripple
and fountains
of lavender
sway
in a porcelain mist

Peony delight, nectar of princesses
Joyful ebony ants paraded toward them
A steady stream, covering the bulb of a blossom
The plant rejoiced. Loving the attention.
Wind whistled approval; sure sign of summer solstice.
Blossoms tucked inside, listened to the avalanche of attention.
Instantly recognizing and approving the wonderfulness of nature...
