Castle of Flowers a Collaboration With Ian Jones

Another day of crazy heat Sweat flowing, lethargy creeping Shimmering images rise up from the street I grab my towel, no time for sleeping Singing giggles Of colourful tickles Endearing children castles What is that joyous sound from the pool? I eagerly peer from behind a tree trunk tall A writhing castle of children playing, I feel such a fool As I hide and I smile and I watch them all The dancing littles The heart sizzles With love whistles Pure joy rises as turrets of arms and legs With trumpet calls of shrieks and laughs The castellations of bobbing heads And a draw bridge lowers as one falls off The mind drizzles The mite bubbles Free young stars, pure bundles The bright Spring flowers of our tomorrow Splashing and laughing with no pretences The love generated by them, no room for sorrow This Castle of Flowers with fun time defences Such innocent windows Of future heroes Kingdoms blooming for tomorrows
