Summer girl
The sun
shines in
And I want
to go out!
Holidays
Sounds of a
distant flute
The taste
of passion fruit
When is my
next kiss?
Will I have
a next kiss?
Movement in
the trees
Swaying in
the seas
The Sun
My
breathing lungs
The clothes
hung
On the
washing line
Dreaming of
a car
Dreaming of
a star
Dreaming
that you are not too far
Japanese
and Chinese see
Butterflies
as symbols of joy and longevity
‘Fluttering
souls’
A symbol of
beauty and dignity,
The peacock
is said to drive evil away.
Peacocks
dance when they see beautiful women
‘The stars
rhymed’-Rita Dove
‘Aglow on
velvet’-Rita Dove
Summer
Ice cream
for all
The whole
sky is yours
An ice
cream smile!
‘The wages
of living are sin,
And the
wages of sin are love,
And the
wages of love are pain
And the
wages of pain are philosophy’-Rita Dove
No songs of
sorrow
A song of a
brighter tomorrow
Africa
sighing for water and
We have
layers of clouds
Sophie’s
silk cheek
She loves
to play hide and seek!
As a child
I loved choosing
Buttons and
bows on the market
‘Purple
clouds like irises’-Suyata Bhatt
‘Sanctuary
lamp’-Gillian Clarke
‘Whose hair
is yellower than torchlight’-Sappho
Faces of
kids queuing for ice cream!
‘Kiss kiss
love love’-Paula Meehan
A
travellers sunset
Like a
filmset
I think of
my holidays in Somerset
‘How really
wonderful it is
To see the
sky so blue
The clouds
have gone
The rain
has stopped
And all
because of you’-J.Jones
‘I’ll
listen to the lark’-J.Jones
‘The long
soft grass,between our toes
Then,the
cooling running water
Of the
stream splashing over our feet’-CF.Hauxwell
Fireworks
‘Tiny
fragments that sparkle like stars’-Tina Rooney
Wishing
stars had wings
Wishing
every child had swings
The
Windmill,Lytham beach
An ice
cream and a slice of peach!
You are an
lumination of words
Angelic
light
To love the
feeling of a place
To love the
feel of your face
Gods cosmic
work
‘The sheep
in yonder meadow
Their
fleece as soft as silk’-Flo E Smith
The old ice
cream place
Watching my
sisters face!
Spring for
eternity
Love and
stupidity
You killed
me
You bled me
of my life
‘Watch the
flower blooming,a new-born lamb’-David Arran
‘In
breathing rooms,
Their
marshmallow heads
In pillowed
sleep’-Ian Barton
Look at the
sky
Pink all
across
The sun in
the month of July
Buildings
look black against the
Blue and
pink sky
There is a
peace
A joyful
look
Love?
Start with
palms and arms
Charm
Do not harm
Home
Love
Hearts
Delight
You feel
warm when you open the front door
House of
sweet content
Please, no
punishment
‘Tears of
blood fell from his heart’-R.Greene
‘Leaves to
thy soft lays’-J.Milton
A flaming
heart
‘A heart as
sound and free’-R.Herrick
Rules of
good
Leave of
destiny
Satiny or
Mountainy?
I am purple
and honest
With a
tuneful heart
‘A voice as
of the cherub-choir’-T.Gray
Purely
wings
He is not
purely wings
Mysterious
stream
I will
follow you and dream
