Julius Walks Alone

July's Turn

By Mother CombsPublished 2 months ago 1 min read
Created in Gemini

All hail Ceaser, as he enters the stage

Decked out in his royal toga and garland crown

With flashes of deep red ruby

He bedazzles the eye as he walks by

Along a path lined with larkspur

He rules the dog days of summer

His strength comes from the heat

That beats upon your back

With promises of  storms to take up the slack

You’ll find him by day sitting by the pond

Watching the frogs swim through the water lilies

With a peaceful smile upon his countenance

He naps throughout the sweltering afternoon

With the coming of each night

He watches the moon for its waxing and waning

Waiting for the Buck Moon to appear

With the growth of the stag’s antlers 

Signifies the closing of his time

And as he leaves his stage to make room for Augusta

All he can say is Et tu, Brute

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
