Sun for the Summer Solstice

April showers bring May flowers

June showers bring

A slow start to summer.

The green is washed

Nicely, Like watercolor rain

Spreading a thin sheen across

The landscape.

Freshening up the hues.

White houses reflect

The sun drops

In the aftermath of

Cloud pointillism.

Drops of rain creating

A rainbow slide

Across the sky

Wisps of red and gold

To paint a banner

Welcoming summer.
