PASS ON THE FLOWER
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
The sun comes out to dance
To the rhythm of nature’s romance
The rustling of the singing leaves
And the buzzing from the bumblebees
The flowers shed petals in the breaze
And the palms fall to their knees
Fanning the fragrance of the summer dance
Waving to the bunny hopping behind the fence
The ripples from the babbling stream put me in a trance
On the burning log
With the sun so hot
Is the baby hedgehog
Who’s found the perfect spot?
To watch the world go by
In the azure sky
The white doves fly by
Putting peaceful patterns around the perfect clouds
Soon there are crowds
Of overdressed sheep
Waking up the cows as they try to sleep
No time to doze
The sunflower says to the rose
It’s time for a garden party you know
Let’s dress in red and yellow?
Poppies at ground level sneak in the back gate
Whilst all the patient flowers just queue and wait
Too late for golden daffodils
They shall come out in spring and cover the hills
That is now occupied by purple plants
Oh yes they can dance
Now leaves glide across the concrete
As they meet and greet
Such summer sounds and smells too
Beautiful colours of orange and blue
Ice-creams melting and chocolate flakes to follow
This party shall go far into the lush meadow
Where the beautiful cows are grazing
Summer is amazing
The feeling of purity
Almost gives you a kind of security
The safety of summer
Watch out for that drummer
And as for the singer
Well the echo shall all summer linger
With green grass
Blue skies
Yellow sun
And all the fun
The summer puts a smile on your face
And to fall in love
With beams from above
Walking hand in hand
Steeling a kiss
Listening to your favourite band
Without the summer
This, you will miss
So look around you
Feel the colour blue
The oranges and pinks
Taste the cool drinks
And let’s all live in harmony
Please deplete the army
Let’s all hold out our hands
To welcome each other
And pass on the most beautiful summer flower
