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.
