*
drunk again
the blush of
bougainvillea
*
that we might have
bigger fires
*
Australian quality
stainless steel legs
on the lawn swan
*
so deceptive
the neighbour’s manicured nails
*
deaccelerate
as a gymnast slips
wetly off the bar
*
sun warmed
the orphaned nestling


This one might be my favorite so far! It all sounds so…warm!
Oh what a delightful morning treat for me….just an excellent verse.
I particularly like the Australian quality barbecue and the transition from slippery gymnast to wet nestling. Well done, all!
