Two girls giggle over





pouch of dandelions
   newly plucked -  stars


sprigs of green, bouquets of
   flowers - sun-dried


white eyelets, pink posies
   gathered on mounds


this park bench is lark, bed,
   secret garden


of imagination-
   as gulls swallow


last cup of dimming light
   and half-sliced moon

  13. Your Spring ballads are so uplifting; nd today we are having lengthy sun breaks & splashes--so your song of the season is the perfect soundtrack for the view out my window. Terrific word-smithing per usual--though the best lines have been mentioned--gulls swallowing sunset rays hooked me hard.

  15. I agree with Toni - and your words are lovely.
    They remind me of yesterday when I was showing my grandsons how to make daisy chains (although they were more interested in their toys!).

  18. Very pretty -- loved what the gulls drank up. I could imagine you out there drinking it up with them and all the plants as their colors fade as the sun sets.
