California Summer

Strawberry faces freckle in morning sun Noses tickle with the cold wet kisses of orange mist The aubergine of plums drips from chins under a feather sky Garnet grapes cobblestone old roads where tractors snore as celery waves break on an almond shore 1st Place Summer Standard Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand 6/15/17

Dale, this is a wonderful write. Congratulations on your win! It virtually takes me to the "salad bowl of the world" in the Golden State! I don't know if you're a basketball fan, but congrats to the Warriors on winning the NBA crown two of the last three years! :) Bartholomew
