Sumner smells of dust
thirsty path leads to the beach
the cool ocean waves.
.
Dusk falls on the water
sandy kids finish playing
grandma makes dinner.
.
Secret recipe
an extra spoonful of love
there’s no place like home.
.
Warm lap goes to bed
cat leaves through an open window
night-time adventure
.
Boldly stepping out
the solitary hunter –
gecko for supper
.
The heat of the night
mosquitoes invade the bedroom
where is that gecko?
.
Interrupted sleep
dreams of cooler days to come
sparrows sing at dawn
.
Early bird
little worm –
sound of worm being eaten.
.
Our holidays continue
making treasured memories
.
Our treasured memories kept
for making future stories
