Marmalade Skies

Each morning my gift is your love

 

 

Marmalade Skies

 

 

 

~Marmalade skies~

 

one spoon at a time they feed

the morning horizon

Soft offerings of color

picked ripe from the vine

 

~Cantaloupe dreams~

 

a small slice of moon

the dawn’s crescent smiles on me

with a Cheshire grin

cocked slightly to the side

 

~Plum pudding blankets~

 

suspended above life, moving slowly

but coming of the day

as alarms break the solitude

nestled in down pillows

 

~Raspberry whispers~

 

singing the scent

of the fresh sunrise dew

on wishes coated in sparkling splendor

and footprints beyond the gate

 

~Nectarine blessings~

 

sweet on my lips

beneath an orchard arbor

I hold you close of my morning

and taste the bounty of your love

Man, you sure got a fruity tooth!
Well that makes two of us! :D
This is one of my favorite yet. I love the structure and most definitely the imagery (yum).
Gotta go, getting hungry....thank you for this marvellously healthy description of day's dawning. :)

Newspaper taxies appear on the shore
Waiting to take you awaa-aay....

Sorry.
I love this! I would never have thought of morning in terms of a sky full of fruit...but it fits so nicely.
Only you, Jack, could have written this beautiful piece.
Now, I'm gonna fix me a fruit salad...

You are the poet with kaleidoscope eyes, Jack... what, no tangerine trees? ;)

This is really unique, the fruits of Mother Nature's awakening offered so sweetly by your pen. For some reason. "plum pudding blankets" is staying with me... there is a cool comfort to the words. :)

[Jack...]
