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.
