Warm colors your smile
under blue twinkles.
Summer-dreamed lane,
shrubs in hula leaf skirts
beneath green canopy;
hands braille the way.
We walk fragrant zones,
from humus to spruce;
inhale transcendent
scent of rose, carried
soft as bunny fur, along
this, our living dream.

I am today’s host of dVerse’ Quadrille Monday. I say:
Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), including some form of the word warm.
Tao Talk 
This sounds so much like a beautiful summer… love it and long for it.

This is such a peaceful quadrille, Lisa. I especially enjoyed the image of ‘shrubs in hula leaf skirts’ and the phrase ‘hands braille the way’.
