streaks of tangerine and gold ~

A sensational idea by the owner
Of an Australian restaurant
Placing a large container at each table
For everyone to place their cell phones
If no one uses their phones
During the meal the table is entitled
To a 10% discount
Sensational idea if you ask me

A beautiful pastoral scene,
trees adorned in emerald green
Lambs bounce around gaily in spring,
and tiny fledglings take to wing
Blossom drifts down from cherry trees,
‘pink confetti’ swirls on the breeze
I pick bunches of daffodils,
their trumpets have such fancy frills
Weeks of renewal and rebirth -
my favourite season on earth

Sky ablaze in glorious shades of tangerine
warm marmalade and tints of burnished gold
I love to watch the setting sun
as it sinks low and vanishes behind the horizon

Spring, a time for rejuvenation and rebirth. I’m always thrilled when winter’s white blanket lifts revealing tiny snowdrops, which crane their necks as they peep through the earth. I imagine I can hear the golden trumpets of dainty daffodils and jaunty jonquils heralding that spring is here. On my morning ramble I love to see the little newborn lambs gamboling about in the fields, and watch the blackbirds catching insects mid flight to feed their hungry chicks.
new leaves unfurling
trees dressed in emerald green
buds ready to burst

Spring's arrived at last, she wears her green dress
as I go rambling on lush verdant hills
This season's so special I will confess
I pick some beautiful gold daffodils
their xanthic colour relieves any stress
after depressing days of winter chills
Fluffy newborn lambs gambol in the fields
I love the rebirth that spring always yields

Freedom can be like the flow of a river
earthbound sensational we begin to shiver
caves sandstone bricks and hilltop mountains
Nowhere in sight was there a fountain
Loose rocks collapsing rolling to the bottom
approximately 200 feet down a proportion are rotten
Underwater creatures not one to be seen
One person’s hobby another person’s dream
Torches shining incredible things discovered
Brought to the surface strange things uncovered
History presented before our eyes
What an experience simple but easy to justify

SENSATIONAL LOVEMAKING
Rush of adrenalin,
lifting his shirted-scent
to my nose -
soaked in apropos,
making love
to my endorphins.
The stir and footfall
from downstairs - his lair,
even when he’s not there,
for I can hear his heart beat
miles and miles and miles away.
Tongues swathed in mint,
trestlework of undulation,
swoosh of utter breezes.
The cool tingling sensation,
fingertips that ripple round,
the sucking sound, the
honey’d stick of becoming
one flesh, seersuckers
gently upon my nape,
always intact, traveling
miles and miles
downtown, rippling
rapture,
torturous-pleasure.

low looming clouds drape
rich fertile furrows
loaded with buried tulip bulbs
launching necessary nourishment
to carefully cultivated beds
scores of fresh Spring blooms
arise in symphonic, harmonic accord
awakening serene landscape...
blanketing verdant flatlands
with sheets of vibrant colors
for a brusque season
I pause in awe
at Earth's lavish artistry

Sensational Yellow
golden, radiant yellow balloons
blazing in a welcoming sky
their buttery brilliance floats up to greet
a lemon colored sun.
