Telly belly

The evening wears on

While outside in the garden

Golden leaves cling on

The light is just right

For us to enjoy the night

 

Cradling a belly of joy

Not a girl or a boy

Crisps, dips and all the chocs

You are mine

Rain and Balloon

Raindrops are laughing,      

Falling,

 

Like cherry

Blossoms,

 

Onto the garden

Big sky balloons

                     

Of birthday party   ...
