Your July girl

A bleak canopy

Of a dingy umbrella,

Has darkened my face

Like the July sun,

Eclipsed somewhere

By the charcoal gray clouds of scandal.

Vaccinated against your notorious tales,

And guarded by the unambiguous parasol,

I am a July girl.

I love July!! But one must always protect from the burn of the sun!

[fattycbreezy52]

And what about scandals?

[marcus]

that's protecting from the burn!

[Alfred Kukitz]

I like the way this poem grabs the mind. You inch along in a storied excitement. Excellent!

This gives a feel that you are dark and oppressed into having to shade yourself from something that has wounded you but still has a touch of 'defiance' FBC

[fattycbreezy52]

Wow you have described that feeling quite nicely....thanks John:)

great imagery, FCB... words like 'bleak', 'darkened', and 'charcoal gray' create a heavy atmosphere, no doubt brought about by the scandalous eclipse... lucky for you, the parasol will prevent those notorious UV tales from burning you...and that vaccination, unfortunately, comes after too many burns... great title and pic too!!

I enjoyed this poem. With beautiful artwork and words. Create place and vision of the July woman.

And guarded by the unambiguous parasol,

Summer does bring out the women of mystery. Thank you dear Poet for sharing the excellent poetry.
