A Poem for the June Solstice - End of the Longest Day

Earlier this month, I found another piece I did for the writing class at Eden Court.  The theme of the piece was "the longest day", and since it's the June Solstice, I thought that I write the piece for you all.

The herbs in bloom
     For it is Midsummer
There is no need for a broom
     That won't do on the day of Midsummer

The herbs are green
     Just as the sky is cloudless
Ready to be eaten
     Good for a salad no less

What are herbs names?
     I'm afraid that I don't know
I can give my friends names
     But that is for me, and me alone to know

The sun has risen on the longest day
But now the sun sets, ending the longest day

The words "longest day" isn't a refer to war film The Longest Day about the D-Day landings, which was 75 years this year.

I hope that you've enjoyed the piece and I hope to post again soon.
