Colours I remember
from when I was very young
Stayed with me into later years
with so many seasons come
But one has been a steadfast
for me a lucky fellow
The vibrancy of summer
captured in the colour yellow
It’s been with me through all the years
Born to the summer I
above all others constant
as many have gone by
So of all that I remember
Colours, lovely every one
Yellow is the best for me
Redolent of the sun

And as we settle to this lovely heat
I find myself in summer sun
Relishing these warming days
filled with things that speak of fun
Through and through a summer person
I could live the year like this
as days of warming sunshine
are to me ones filled with bliss
Days are a little shorter now
but the sun’s intensity
could stay and keep the summer
here in perpetuity

[I started this series a year ago, posting a themed poem on the first of each month throughout the year. It’s a cathartic part of my writing, so I’m doing the same for the next year with a new series, starting on 1st September – ’12 months III’. Closing ’12 months II’ off though, here are trackbacks to the others in the series]
1] September
2] October
3] November II

This circular green
Grown, cut back, abundant now
as summer takes hold
This circular green
A comfort true and fragrant
These summer senses
This circular green
With me, part of me, in me
I am in summer

Just a simple glimpse
of yellow does the trick
to bring a smile and tear
Fills my heart
with summer sun
and joie de vivre and cheer

Now this summer sun
brings yellow to the fore
and I am shining
Now this summer sun
brings a warmth that radiates
and I am browning
Now this summer sun
brings a laughter to the fore
and I am grinning

This time last year
we were spoilt that’s for sure
As the sunshine it came
and the temperatures soared
But this year it seems
we’ve returned to the fray
For June in full swing
sees rain every day
It’s windy and frankly
the warmth could be better
and the plants that I’m growing
get wetter and wetter
I’m thankful for that
though I would like some sun
to reassure me
that the summer has come

And so to circles
Spreading like raindrops
in summer puddles
they give to reflection
for a moment or two
And then they are gone
Like whimsy
on a sunshine day
