Seasonally

Sun dried, rain wrinkled, autumn sprinkled summer fruit; Lush balled clusters of blackberries gone rusty puce with new chills; Tangles of nettles carpeting tracks between apples' sweet and sour spills And the nights darking early for divali, hallowe'en and Guy's forked Beard of shredded seed...

laid back smiles

In Jamaica we sing with the children "Smile a while and give your face a rest Shake your hand with the one you love the best.." I smile with Taps and she with me. We sing to Sam and all agree A poem's a way to review our day. Yet, while we may use similes and images To link hands across the sea we... Sign in to see full entry.
