petals of cornflower blue
push aside autumn’s debris
a young child signals her delight


petals of cornflower blue
push aside autumn’s debris
a young child signals her delight

trees & shrubs
dotted in green
the world
is new again


emptied pack
of fruit-stripe gum
colors more vivid
when I was a kid
late April winds blow,
whisking away winter sleep
frozen hearts, melancholy souls
the warmth of spring returns
swelling my heart
beneath the rays of the sun

orange peel residue
sunshine encircles me
all through the day
