midsummer
Friday, 21 June 2019
summer came
in her robe of light
and sprinkled the earth
with flowers.
we've found ourselves
in a deserted city,
with most people headed
to their summer cottages
for midsummer.
I think we'll pack the car
with picnic stuff
& take a little road trip.
I'm yearning to see
the sparkling sea
& pick (at least) those seven flowers
to slip under the pillow.
it's warm,
nature's bursting at its seams,
and in summer,
the song sings itself,
as Mr William Carlos Williams says.
Happy Midsummer!

four hours in the car,
goodbye work bits & bobs
and city dust.
time for a midsummer breather.
moments in mum's gardens
& little excursions
dips in a lake,
any time of the day...
a forest walk,
& late night sauna.
a week to go before the actual holidays
& this little trip did so much good
in quenching stress levels
in face of all that's left do
before truly letting loose.

"I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
where oxlips & the nodding violet grows,
quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
with sweet musk-roses & white eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
lulled in these flowers with dances & delight."
Wishing you a magical midsummer.
