Joseph May Poet Terzanelle

Seasonal Color

Seashells  and Sunsets
   
 Palm trees bow to briny swells
  As tangerine shades in the skies suffuse
  And aquamarine waves flow over coral shells

 There are shells in lavender and chartreuse hues
  And of many other colors they comprise
 As tangerine shades in the skies suffuse

 Cerulean mountains in the distance rise
  As  flowers with lemon tints dance among the trees
   Of many other colors they comprise

 The fragrant lilac sways in the summer breeze
 Butterflies with saffron wings explore
 As flowers with lemon tints dance among the trees

 Bits of watermelon wash onto the shore
 And seagulls squabble for a bite
 Butterflies with saffron wings explore

 In the sunsets fading light
 Palm trees bow to briny swells
 And seagulls squabble for a bite
 As aquamarine waves flow over coral shells
                            ~~
