Pellegrino and Lime

 

surrounded

by magenta petunias

and my friday night lights

 

it’s patio-perfect in spring

 

my footfall

and yours

tiptoeing

 

past the snoring

winter wolf moon

turned pink

 

—and the little clink

our glasses make

 

to toast

the sun-drenched, fresh

summer

 

we’ve palmed

of our lives

  3. Oh, myyyyy. There is SO much to love here! The pink, and tink, are my favorite. My hubby and I adore hanging out on our back patio as often as we can. You've captured the feeling perfectly, and those last lines are **chef's kiss**.

  5. When we reach that wonderful time of the year, that's when the patio becomes worth its cost.

  6. I enjoyed the use of colour in your quadrille, Jennifer, and the image of night lights on a patio surrounded by petunias. It’s far too cold to sit on our patio at the moment, but the solar lights cheer me up when they come on.

  8. As the Beatles once sang, everything is what you make it. I love the way you used "palmed" here.
