6/25/19: solstice mood four days since Solstice and the midsummer rains continue to fall I long for the promise of summer sun #tanka #micropoetry #poetry

6/21/19: prompt-free summer solstice and the sun breaches the rain clouds liberation, a drive home, the last project in my wake #tanka #micropoetry #poetry
