A chorus of chimes

a chorus of chimes
dainty bells ring in the sun
on a windswept day

The daffodil

I gazed upon a daffodil
lazing in the dawn.
Drooping in the morning chill
she then gave a yawn.
With a shriek that shook the hill,
in a flash I was gone!

Tropical Delight


















Soft hairy spines on the outside
Around an oval or round shape;
A woody seed on the inside.

The colour changes as it grows,
From green to yellow and to red;
And like the flowers of the rose,
The fruits are clustered in a head.

Remove the leathery thin rind;
A whitish fruit just like a grape
With succulent flesh you will find.

The juicy type clings to the seed;
It’s watery and often drips.
It’s the firm type I like indeed
That’s crunchy like potato chips.
