The last blog before our summer break was written by BPS member Connie Pompilii. Connie is also an artist, and the creator of the lovely, summery pictures accompanying the blog.
The arrival of June brings with it a gentle reminder to enjoy the simple things. Whether it’s having a cup of coffee on the front porch, reading a book under a shaded tree, or walking in the park, June, like poetry, is full of many treasures just waiting to be discovered.
On a June’s Day
In fields of green
dandelion wishes appear
as
morning glories rise
to greet the sun.
Rows of lavender and marigolds
grace the garden
as
sweet cherry tomatoes
drip off stems.
Pots of basil and mint
flavour the patio
as
succulent strawberries
abundantly fill bowls.
Cool grass tickles
bare feet
as
bunnies dance
out of burrows.
Warm breeze flows
through lush leaves
as
songbirds sing
summer’s praise
Some Poets born in June:
Allen Ginsberg June 3
William Butler Yeats June 13
Anne Carson June 21
Delightful post. Whimsical, ethereal and uplifting.
