Fruit Salad Skies
Can you see those
clouds
of pastel peach,
plum and apricot
up there ..
Hanging like some
untidy bunch
of grapes unfolded ..
An exotic salad
pinned,
but flawed like that ..
Seriously
semi-permanent
and fragile ..
Just waiting for
the cream
to be poured over
slow ..
And then, of
course, an elusive
but all
inclusive cherry
placed on the very top ..

Stunning imagery, Nev, I believe that the UK has become somewhat tropical in the past couple of summers, can you believe that here in Italy the weather has become very British. A cherry on top of the summer trifle I'd say. A lovely poem. ❤️
