Virginia Waters Poet Rispetto

Nz Summer

Pohutukawa red bristled rain falling

              Drifts down sienna cliffs floats on azure waves.

                 children swarm, hear the ice-cream van's song calling

                       sand covered, sticky, happy exploring caves.

                  Flame tree nectar draws chattering Tui play

                 White butterfly sails bob clubward, end of day.

                    Swimmers laughingly frolic while peach sun dips

                Shore bound its time for coleslaw, buns, beer and chips.
