daffodils and dandelions fluttering wakeward
as he passes
and a scent between miner and metal
hobnailed
playing ‘dancing with cars’
This bus is very quiet he thinks
And Tuesday!
Spectacularity!
Yet another icecream sky

rainbow graffiti trailing beauty
curlicues of exuberant joy crisscrossing
as he passes
and a music between oscarrrpeterson and
the brickwork
playing ‘reality, it’s a great place to be,

Sounds like a lovely day to be had! This is another gorgeous Squires poem and I particularly like the surprise of ‘how a pleasant greeting’. Though, it’s hard to pick a favourite bit as it is all wonderful. Definitely a jazzy feeling in this one.

Need to hear this at SpeedPoets Paul. One of the finest examples of Spectacularity I have ever encountered!

This is so refreshing to read. So many beautiful details and the joy of life expressed is vividly translated. Fantabulous!
