A tissue of sunrise

A songful of morn,

Buzzing and twittering

Sweet sounds adorn.

A deft little breeze,

A kiss of warm glow,

Caressing and fluttering,

Sinuous petals flow.

A surfeit of tide,

A supple delving of sands,

Shifting and drooping,

Seaweed throng bands.

A rapid blue sky,

A lazy slither of cloud,

Rustling and stretching,

Great trees stand proud.

Patricia Morris, Romsey

Echo poet-in-residence Polly Clark says: "A poem to remind us of that lovely month - but it seems so far away already!"
