The Buttercup Fool
Erupting from Potters Clay, flapping
Green Parrot stares with
Midnight Iris, long dusk aroma of
Java Cream and
Twilight Cinders - a
Purple Infusion from
Salisbury Stones.
Crushed Pine and
Lilac Spring;
Californian Sands an
African Adventure hallucinating beneath
Martian Skies, descend
Khaki Mists of
Damson Dream.
Wild Water, with dancing
Sea Urchin at the
Javal Dawn, feels the
Velvet Touch of
Mystic Mauve on
Granada Green. Tilting, bleeding now to
Azure Sky with
Marble Swirl; a
Mineral Haze of
Eastern Spice -
Hot Paprika,
Jamaican Bronze; the
Pamplona Purple as
Amethyst Falls o’er
Sulphur Springs grows into
Rock Candy of
Adobe Pink and
Lemon Chiffon.
Remember Spring Breeze turned to
Harvest Fruits?
Purple Polka gives way - sleep - to
Earthern Cream. Now
Moon Waves fall, like
Crumpled Linen on
Woodland Fern;
Bracken Salts of
Marischino Mocha bathed in
Grey Steel and
Vanilla Mist - a
Celestial Cloud, earthbound.
Enter, Golden Rambler and dripping
Wholemeal Honey, a
Moorland Magic bourne out of
Spicy Sandalwood - behold! a
Starlight Night on
Desert Island - it’s
Blue Seduction sure of
Moroccan Sands.
Still; here; Twisted Bamboo -
Thai Magic - and the
Blush Noisette of
Bitter Chocolate.
Golden Bark and
Chalk Blush a
Garnet Symphony;
Holiday Blues tries
Sweet Sunday but
Azure Fusion of
Exotic Spice has no
Sunflower Symphony of back-home
Lavender Blossom; her
Auburn Falls.
Now, Nomadic Glow, wander -
Dusted Moss with
Nectar Jewels, blushes with
Kiwi Burst in its
Jewelled Creek, spilling
Grecian Spa - it’s
Night Jewels drip on dusty earth.
Hear Bongo Jazz and smell
Lime Zest, feel the
Imperial Mauve of the
Amber Queen; the dry
Cracked Clay of once
Velvet Truffle - was
Mellow Heather now a
Steel Symphony. Lost are
Soft Moss and
Summer Pecan, hung from
Soft Maplewood, and the silent
Orchid Opera of
Grecian Garland nestled swaying by
Ruby Fountain of spouting
Potters' Pink.
Wild-eyed Jungle Ginger; a
Blush Rambler with soothing
Himalayan Musk. Beneath her
Velvet Ribbon she runs to
Sultana Spice, pooled
Chiffon White in a still
Fragrant Cloud. Now,
(Golden Umber and
Waterlily Blush) comes the
Buttercup Fool in
Liberty Blue, his
Minted Glory wrapped in
Crushed Cotton with dye of
Sundrenched Saffron, his
Flamingo Fun an erect
Morning Jewel.
Nor for him, the Highland Falls of
Subtle Ivory, mist of
Tuscan Glade by
Chalky Downs, circled by
Golden Fern; a
Mexican Mosaic, murmuring a maternal
Mango Melody. Far better, says he,
Forest Falls of
Amethyst Showers and
Clouded Pearl plummet into
Inky Pool - true
Fuchsia Falls.
For you, an Earth Glaze -
Caramel Sand; trickling
Rum Caramel, long
Luna Landscape of
Sicilian Summer settles in
Dublin Bay. A
Nutmeg Cluster of
Flame Frenzy was on
Venetian Crystal - today a lazy
Caramel Blush. Once,
Paradise Green, today
Sunnah Savannah and swaying
Golden Jasmine. Here,
English Mist; not
Violet Surprise of
Pink Nevada but
Cocoa Blush of
Cameo Silk - an
Emerald Delight by
Celtic Moor, ancient
Crystal Surprise -
Quartz Flint!
Soft Almond of
Niagara Blues carved into
Roman Stone by
Oyster Cove, the
Atlantic Surf a
Blue Diamond.
Plush Velvet a
Party Surprise by
Willow Creek, in a tropical
Banana Dream comes the
Gooseberry Fool arriving in a
Mercury Shower. Beyond
Coral Canyon lies a
Gipsy Bloom of
Rich Praline and tang of
Winter Teal.
Amazon Jungle borders
Labrador Sands, as
Celtic Forest lies complicit in a
Caribbean Dawn.
