June Forecasts
I.
June pours out a deep indigo dye
onto her first blue hour. A robin chirps,
beacons a dawn chorus of wrens, sparrows,
finches. Sky lightens— though wide bands of clouds
cloak the heavens like thick layers of tulle
on a goddess’s dress. We remain still
until our Kentucky cardinal verses
cheer, cheer, cheer and sun highlights the lacey
layers as they twirl up, up. A clear June day
unfolds with blooms of morning glories. White.

“ —wide bands of clouds

on a goddess’s dress.”
Beautiful!
June pours out a deep indigo dye
onto her first blue hour. You got me immediately.
Oh those clouds like thick layers of tulle – I can see them! Beautiful capture of a morning. Up and up!
Good writing, Michele. I look forward to reading other sections of this one.
Gorgeous imagery’
Beautiful!
What a wonderful way to begin this special month!
The thick layers of tulle on a goddess’s dress is just the most perfect cloud imagery. Love all the birds, too. Such a vibrant image of the June morning.
A beautiful way to start this first day of June and LexPoMo!
Adore:

Such a lovely start to June poetry! Love this!
Hurrah! Another bird watching, bird loving poet. Wonderful detail about a kind of dove about which i didn’t know. Around 1979, i owned a pair of diamond doves& would love a pair again. I’m also a visual artist —birds, stuffed animals, people my subject most always, slowly getting posted on fineArtAmerica. A pair of mourning doves keeps our house as home base. I Wish i could really see what you’ve described, tho sad there is a ‘loser/fight.’ Thank you. Bravo!
So lovely! I enjoy bouncing along with this poem. Love the cloud analogy as “layers of tulle on a goddess’s dress.”
