"GEMINI" for Janet

A very happy birthday to my dear cyber friend Janet-the June girl of Another Porch. 

A wikem from me to you :)

Hooray for Janet!

Frederic Leighton's "Flaming June"

GEMINI 

"...due to the precession of the equinoxes, June begins with the sun in the astrological sign of Gemini..." (Wikipedia) 

She's flaming June, she's you, the fleeting youth
wrapped in the gauze of time, a lucid dream,
the waking orange sun, reposing truth,
she's all that you may see, all things that seem
to be within your grasp, an ancient tune
forever young, she's you, she's flaming June. 

have a wonderful day, my friend

Live for the Love of it,

Weekly Wikems. June.

Hello, everyone,

hope all's well with you.

It's Thursday, feel like writing a wikem?

Frederic Leighton's "Flaming June" is in New York through Sept. 6 at the Frick Collection. Visit her if you get a chance.

"Why it's called 'Flaming June,' no one knows."   
For the review that with authority "dismembers" the painting, this line is an acknowledgement of defeat.

I say, thank goodness we don't know everything. Let's enjoy the painting.

And let's talk about June today.

Here's my wikem:

GEMINI 

"...due to the precession of the equinoxes, June begins with the sun in the astrological sign of Gemini..." (Wikipedia) 

She's flaming June, she's you, the fleeting youth
wrapped in the gauze of time, a lucid dream,
the waking orange sun, reposing truth,
she's all that you may see, all things that seem
to be within your grasp, an ancient tune
forever young, she's you, she's flaming June. 



Look forward to your poems.
