July awakens,< - nice beginning, sets the tone.
born from the middle month
in the balmy peace of a summer midnight. <-very evocative. (hands out cookie)
Heat does not slackens <- I take it you mean “slacken”?
nor increases, quivers like a moth <-i think adding But would help this flow smoothly
around a light, waiting for the moment she breaks
in golden green glory, <- just a slight query, usually you link two colours together like “blue-green sea”. But no matter how hard I try I cannot picture a golden green.
canopied in purple, heralded <-again very evocative imagery
with rumbling as of drums, flashes taking place of fanfare. <-eh whoa… I think that’s a bit longwinded.
On a foray,
with crashes set to shake the very ground,
the earth; sheets of blue vehemently descend to veil her path. <- nice imagery
Canny calmness, <- the calmness is shrewd enough to be easily deceived? I think you mean uncanny
sweet serenity - she's come and gone, <-beautiful.
leaving her newborn babe, fresh and novel, clothed in sky-blue and green. <- perfect… absolutely perfect line.
I really enjoyed this poem, you are obviously a gifted poet. I will go and dig up more of your work
