red lights rippen
through back-road morning mist –
frosty tomatoes

soft black berry
hidden amongst the red –
thorn in my finger

shy birdsong among
silent cherry blossoms –
seagulls on the lawn

green lawns dotted
in bees and fallen blossom –
bite of an apple

my feet are a
labyrinth in the maze –
lobster on the beach

steaming hides abound –
tractors speed deafeningly fast
clutching breakfast

starfish wrestling –
waves clinking at bared feet
soothing pebble sores

tired dogs rest belly up –
paws cast smouldering shade after
walking on the sun

manicured lawn –
seagulls dance on the heads
of juicy worms

dark icy river –
suns warm touch wakes
tormented waters
