Premium Member Strawberry Sherbert

I had strawberry sherbert dreams
   until they got sidestepped by 
     melancholy chocolate cake.


My dreams shattered like crumpled 
                 pie toppings.
Now I have no desire for sweets.

                                 summer smiled and stayed
                                 some sweat, shouting, “sinister”
                                 sweet sherbet, savored

Premium Member Sherbert Day - Tribute To Evelyn Buehler

Is it a sherbert day?
Any day is
for our particolored poet.
She waltzes in a mobile gown -
peaches and plums,
lemons and cotton candy pinks.
The rivet of cold sherbert
or lemonade stirred,
painted - her prismatic words
gently placed upon her plate.
we gobble them up or slow down
to catch the crystal shake -
the windchime of her mind.

Premium Member June

June is knocking 
at the door
dressed in fragrant 
summer gold
cherry blossoms 
cuckoo songs
bathing suits 
volleyballs
riding waves 
spitting salt
sherbert
sky
cooling 
ball
joy of love
smiling friends
dancing
barefoot
on the sand
closed books 
and open shores
bloom in June 
roses 
and love.

The Morning As Soft Sherbet Colored As These Skies

THE morning as soft sherbert
coloured \ as these Skies/
And our words like painting
expressions across love &
hearts.
  WHAT! Yes.  Tenderly across
the canvas of Our Lives.

Be gentle.  Be wise.  Be 
   you ~ that inner Soul
i know and love so!

Goodnight and good tidings!
   Now we go (the both of us)
into the world.

   And again I say I love you!

Mountain Tops

Stars glitter aside the mountain tops
Casting glows of orange and pink
So beautiful they listen to you
Telling a story before they die
 
Casting glows of orange and pink
The sky is sustained in sherbert
It tells its story before it dies
Peaks echo and snowflakes fall

As the sky is sustained in sherbert
So beautiful they listen to you
The peaks echo and snowflakes fall
While stars glitter aside the mountain tops

Premium Member Clementine through the Clouds

clementine through the clouds
a gentle shower of shine

not blinding, but binding
droplets of a restraining eye

so like a passing surname
a sign inhabits the Summer day

hour upon hour of aimless thought
of a most gracious heavenly soul

she had peace as I struggled
my mom dying from same ill

clementine through the clouds
melting like orange sherbert

my eyes taste its pleasant hue
my head in the cotton puffs, soothed

Premium Member Peach Sherbert Garden

christa coral bells
daylily tangerine
apricot whirl narcissus
a la mode dahlia

zinnia thumbelina
peaches ‘n dreams hollyhock
hues of apricot lisianthus
hawaiian punch carnation

sienna sunset coreopsis
indian summer rose
toasting pink champagne
hues of apricot

Sunset Dreams

Dazzling flecks of gold fall lightly from flight, joy and grace spun from translucent silk spools. The sun like orange sherbert melts from my sight, resplended in a rich robe of fine jewels. A cooling sky bathes in soft sunlit pools. Honeysuckle blooms on the horizon. Cotton clouds yawn, puffing over the sun. Taste the sweet dreams of her ripened peach gloam. From Heaven, kisses goodnight have begun. The sun, now spent, sleeps so bright stars can roam.
