Summer Solstice

Leaf 227 – Reflections

 

Max Alexander STFC SPL - Sunrise Solstice at Stonehenge (2008)

A haiku which I wrote to mark the Summer Solstice on 21 June 2025:

 

 

Broken stones –

centuries meld into

a single sunlit morn. 

Jon Britton - Stonehenge (1801)

-----------------------------------------------------

Plus – two, slightly less-reverential, senryu:

 

SOLSTICE

 

Summer not yet begun,

already the nights

are drawing in.

 

***

 

Falling a foot shy,

street bollards almost

aligned on the solstice.

 

 

 

 

Lukáš Lehotský - B&W Bollards

The first and last of these three poems were originally written and posted on Bluesky in response to different writing prompts, see: #vssdaily & #whistpr.
