Speaking of Solstice (a poem)

Speaking of Solstice

Summer arrived abruptly this year;

A little earlier than scheduled.

She did not have to evict Spring,

Spring was absent without leave

Left us with cold rain, cold nights

Dark days

Left us frustrated, wanting to experience

seasonal change.

Spring Flings

Birds and bees and peepers

Walking through the woods

We missed the fragrance of Madrone blooming

The scent a blend of Orange blossoms, Jasmine and Patchouli

So Summer stepped in,

No nonsense now, she said.

Now the grass is brown

Madrone is shedding, going to sleep.

Summer shall give us hot days

And cool nights

We better get used to it.
