Fruit Salad Skies

Neville

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. ❤️

            worded as deliciously vivid
            as every fruity spoonful bite
            is, to imagine..
            Brilliant!
            (guess what i'll be having for lunch
            yeah..
            steak! n chips with me mushy peas
            ..what!
            .. what? did you think)
            😁
            (oh and of course a fruit salad for dessert
            duh!)
            😎
            yeah I'm a failed comedian
            but so what, I own it!
            🍻

              And the cherry is elusive. True if many things that tease delight.
