Rare June

The month of June has just arrived;
How many Junes to be?
A month received as precious gift
And guarded jealously.

Each day of June a jewel in
The crown of speeding year.
We mourn its passing in advance
As each June grows more dear.

Paused between spring and summer
As Heaven's sweet preview,
The number of Junes allotted
In any life, too few.

Thank you dear new member.  May we have a name?  I can't handle that moniker.  Love, Joyce

Dear Joyce,

What a lovely June poem. Actually, this is one of my favorite months of the year. Not too hot as yet.

Love,
Patricia

as the suspense grows almost to the end of the line of letters & numbers, I bow to your elegant offering dear Joyce.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Dear Joyce

June for me here 'down under' is cold.  However, I love your poem.

Love Isobel xo

This is beautiful Joyce. I love the month for many reasons. June is warm here in the uk, but as every month, a little unpredictable. It is the month of my birthday ( quite obvious lol ) and of course I love it because I was named after this month .... My mother says .... warm and sunny : )
Hugs June xxxxxxx

So it did.. but this beautiful poem brings it back, and lets us hope for the coming June.. it isn't really so far away!

Very beautiful, lady!

Love's a lovely lad
His bringing up is beauty
Who loves him not is mad
For I must pay him duty

June is really significant for me. Thanks for the point of view.
