PEACHES
Choose your peach.
Grab that peach.
Rub the fuzz.
Bite into peach.
Juice spurts out.
Give peach a lick.
Grab napkin–quick!
Make big grin
Swipe your chin.

JULY IN SCARBOROUGH
White bird flies against black cloud
Black bird flies against white cloud
Cameos.
Leggy orange day lilies
Languish against a blue shed
They flirt.
In a gritty Scarborough lane.
A work friend eases
Three tiny yellow plums
Into my palm
Plums succumb to my hearty chomp
At TTC bus stop.
I coax a tiny fuchsia bloom
Between index and thumb
Home base it in blue eggcup
Add one teaspoon of water
I am content with the wee view.
