This is just to say

I have eaten
the ice-cream
that was
in the freezer

and which
you were probably
saving
for your dessert tonight.

Forgive me
it was delightful
so sugary
and freezing cold.

I asked the little boy who could not see


I asked the little boy who could not see
“And what is color like?”
“Why red,” said he,
“Is like sitting in front of the fire at my house.
Pouring rain on a cold day that is blue.
Yellow is like the warm sun that shines down over me.
Purple must be thunderclouds fighting in the sky.  
The forest where its nice and peaceful, that is like green.
Pink is like the sweet taste of lollies that we eat on birthdays.
White is the fog that I walk through on winter mornings.
And orange is the orange drink that I have before a rugby game.
