The dying inside:

Myopic windows;

daylight fading

on a glass table top;

dead flies milling,

unaware....

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

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

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

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

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.

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;

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...

I saw you
for one fleeting moment,
a hug
on the cusp
of summer solstice,
that steady frigid
rock of winter
once more dissolved,
like a ghost of Christmas past,
while
I saw you
for one fleeting moment,
your Hawaiian shirt
a miniature rainbow,
smiling of color,
your indifference
well rehearsed,
letting me know,
your heart
was set,
a tombstone
around us....

All the trimmed details
of the burial 
are finished,
as the summer solstice 
breeze                
glides with the softness
of a mother's arms,
through the ancient cemetery
where we waited to place your urn,
big and blue as the sky, until summers canopy welcomed you
with the history 
of wisdom
into the soft earth,
just so your first night home
would not surprise you
with the solitude of winter....

Full Moon on Summer Solstice
By Franklin Price
6/20/2016


Full moon on Summer Solstice
For this year is a delight
The full moon will be shining
Extending  longest day to night

Full moon and sun both visible
At the same time in the sky
Try your best today to see them
Likely not a chance another try 

Rare indeed this happening 
The next a life away
Won't be again 'til '94
Full moon and longest day...
