Chocolate Hills

rain showers the land
displays knolls of green grasses
tarsiers free park play

sun shimmers brilliance
upon brown mounds verdure lair
big chocolate queue

To en-trance your readers with short descriptive lines is paramount to your talents Olive. Isn't the Tarsier so cute in a way. Let's hope they have habitat to sustain them indefinitely. I so love reading your poetry, it makes me smile, James :) x
