Michael, my Mi’kmaq friend;
Sister Darling, of the
Rarified Church of the World (reformed);
Paw, the cat/kitten,
Black as smudge
With one white mitten;
And myself,
The Lighthouse Keeper
Of Partridge Island;
Are banded together to celebrate
The twenty-first day of June
The Summer Solstice
The first day of summer.
Really, say what you will,
We are all going to stay out
Until the sun goes down.
Michael points to trees, leaves
And shadows,
To explain the importance
Of the Day.
Sister Darling quotes parts
Of Genesis, and the sun,
And what happened when
All was in place.
I have some seafaring instruments,
And twist dials, and
Slide pieces of metal
To prove summer’s existence.
And
Of course
There is a FEAST!
Michael brings a haunch,
And steaks,
Of Venison.
Sister Darling brings
Two pots of stew,
And two rhubarb pies.
I have delved into my
Bread recipes and
Offer three different selections.
And Paw, the cat/kitten
Catches a plump robin,
But he lets it go.
I’m The Lighthouse Poet Laureate of Partridge Island /1821 – 2025 / A lot of stuff have I seen / A lot of stuff to report.
