Celebrating A Rainy Summer Solstice with Poems

 

Celebrating A Rainy Summer Solstice with Poems

summer's longest day 

gardener's wettest day 

drenched to the bone 

******

 

gardener's attire 

muddy and wet 

summer solstice 

******

 

the gardener's clothes 

get wet and muddy in the 

early summer rain 

******

 

drizzle and downpour 

gardener changes thrice 

inner child's delight 

******

 

summer rain 

nourishes the garden 

fresh earthly fragrance 

******

 

newly planted buds 

stands undeterred by 

summer solstice storms 

******

 

old rubber boots split 

a cold rainy morning's 

catalyst 

******

 

summer solstice's 

cool evening breeze 

rain soaks into dirt 

******

 

revel in walking 

through a summer rainstorm 

splashing in puddles
