Dancing flippy-flop in the breeze
boughs of red-faced bougainvillea
delight a pastel orange day
and hide the stern grey palisade
Blues and white of trailing lobelia trickle
from broken-rimmed terracotta pots
to cover puddlesque, a corner of the courtyard
home to satin winged butterflies and bees
Warbler’s perched on tall bamboo grasses
chitter-chatter to yellow headed African marigolds
while giant sunflowers sway to unseen wind chimes
like entranced cobras dancing to the flute
The parasol casting just enough shade
for afternoon tea in an afternoon tea garden
served on a silver tray with strawberry filled scones
accompanied by the perfect music of a tinkling stream
