Flaming June

entry picture

I boarded the train and headed for the coast

Of this fine weather I must make the most

A warm gentle breeze blew through my hair

In the entire world I didn’t have a single care

I looked on enchanted my eyes open wide

At the sights and sounds of the countryside

This sunny interlude has come none too soon

The month has finally arrived for a celebration

It’s Flaming June

 

The sun shone like a beacon on a day for to die

As I strolled along the prom on a natural high

Keeping nice and cool eating an ice cream cone

My shades were on and I was in the chill zone

Walking barefoot on the baking golden sands

Kissed by an azure sky that I held in my hands

The mercury is rising and I am starting to swoon

But I will survive in this happy heavenly place

It’s Flaming June

 

Across the sultry horizon the sun goes down

Casting a crimson shadow across a seaside town

Happy smiling faces sit outside the pubs and cafés

Watching the world go by as yachts cruise the bay

Eat drink and be merry is the order of the day

Sing and dance with abandon let your body sway

I lay my head down by the light of the silvery moon

Looking forward to waking up on a brand new day

It’s flaming June

good to have a poem which is what it is and nobody gets killed or maimed in the making of the last verse. We all need more happy endings. Good on ya John, I mean Tom.
Not flaming here either but at least we're heading in the right direction for a while.

Nice, but June isn't 'flaming' yet where I am. I'll have to re-read this when the weather picks up a bit.
Good imagery, I could just see that sun-kissed beach
Cheers Kevin
