10 of 12 in the Jemverse series ’12 months III’
The sixth month of the year arrives
here with the first of June
Summer smiles a welcome
singing here a happy tune
Sun shines down from clear blue skies
a little dance seems right
expression of the sentiment
we have with this in sight

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

No 10 of 12 in the Jemverse ’12 months II’ series
Momentum carries us to June
from the month of May
The sunshine warm, the summer here
the lengthening of day
And loud I hear the whooping cheer
for summertime now come
Days of whimsy wait for all
now springtime is undone

to this iron bone
when daylight is seldom
and sunshine has flown
And winter, vice-like
has me firm in its hold

with fingers of cold
My thoughts lie in summer
when June in the light
paints warmth over all
that it has in its sight

I’ve seen fifty-nine summers
and have loved every one
For back in the fifties
I was born to the sun
A child of a Thursday
I had far to go
But I’d hardly have guessed
what I now have to show

No 11 of 12 in the Jemverse ’12 months’ series

Thursday’s child has far to go’
Something I had always known
Born of summer, summer’s child
Often wayward, always wild
My birth month June, the first today
Brings me out to dance and play

Yesterday saw the Solstice
and the summer’s longest day
Midyear passes once again
as time slip slides away

The end of June, St James’ Park
first thing in the morning
London’s just awaking
and most people are still yawning
But here the sun is shining
and there are squirrels out at play
Whilst early morning joggers
pass me panting on the way

March first greets the man
who belongs to summer sun
Pining for the warmth

In the airy month of June
It’s quite nice to read at noon
These hungry young days of mine
