I posted this petite pen originally on Facebook, and decided it would nice to share here as well. I hope you’re having a rapturous weekend. If you feel inclined to herald the season, join me in penning some brevity, 35 words or less, to this image by Paul Thévenaz – Faun (1920).

Happy Saturday!

June is a tune
played on wooden pipes.
A youth reclining nude
among the wobbly wildflowers.
Red and yellow columbine
hide a white-tailed fawn.
Green not easily abandoned,
but nature responds.
June is rapturously random.
