DAY 2406: Happy Midsummer's Eve, or Midwinter's Eve Summer Solstice or Winter Solstice depends on where you live and how you see the day. Does color change your mood? Which colors affect you the most if they do?

Summer Solstice:
Poem One

On the longest day of the year,
in the Northern Hemisphere,
the sapphire sky reflects my gratitude,
and the joyful songs of sparrows
echo my mood.

DAY 2010: Happy Midsummer's Eve or Midwinter's Eve Summer solstice or winter solstice depending on where you live and how you see the day. Use these words in your entry today: faeries, realm, Lilith, stag, bonfire, marshmallows, and supermarket.

Summer Solstice:
Poem Two

In the Realm of the Faeries,
Lilith walks barefooted through the forest,
carrying a reusable supermarket bag.

Above the full moon guides her through the night
to a glen
where a bonfire burns bright,
where her friends
and the stag of summer waits
for the marshmallows,
that is her contribution
to the Midsummer celebration.
