LITTLE LEMON FACES

The last time we were in Cornwall, we walked along a cliff
top full of daffodils.  The ones I bought from the shop are
from Cornwall and remind me of that beautiful afternoon,
with the sound of the sea and the sunshine.   They’ve
certainly cheered up a cold and dark day.

LITTLE LEMON FACES

Sunshine spilling
Over the table,
Cornish daffodils
Washing their little lemon faces
In the light.

A long way from home,
They bring with them still,
The sound of the sea.

To drown out
The pitter-patter
Of sulky raindrops
Soaking a dark land.
