Summer Splash of Colours

SUMMER SPLASH OF COLOURS

Walking in the garden under a cerulean sky,
The mild heat of the tangerine sun cools my mind,
Lavender buds have begun to bloom and I 
Watch the soft lemon lilies slowly swaying behind;

Plucking a pink carnation of the watermelon pigment,
I stroll towards the shallow aquamarine pool,
There I pause to breathe in the fresh lilac scent,
Then, gingerly, I place my feet inside my reflection cool;

Small new chartreuse leaves fall on my head,
Like a blessing from God, and I'm wholly enthused 
With my saunter through Nature's little flowerbed,
Where the summer splash of colours are diffused;

The coral honeysuckles look like flowers with red gowns, 
Gazing at them, I never knew how time simply flew,
The clear blue sky turns saffron as the sun downs,
I amble back home, my heart filled with summer hues.
