Warmth. Sunlight. Autumn leaves.
❀
The sand spread out on a coastline.
❀
The laughter of a Friday afternoon.
❀
The hope exhaled on a child’s dandelion wish.
❀
The reassurance in a genuine smile.
❀
A bird’s feather, soft as silk.
❀
Butter spread on pikelets, served on a lazy Sunday morning.
❀
Gold tweaked to be more affectionate, easier to hold.
❀
Fond familiarity. Calming comfort. Rare contentment.
❀
Something I am usually too cautious to name - happiness.
❀
You.
❀
-For my Mum♡

Awww, this was such a wonderful tribute to your mom! My favourite line was The hope exhaled on a child’s dandelion wish!
Gorgeous, I love how vivid everything felt!
Very soft form of yellow, which usually registers to me as so acidic and strident. Really beautiful!
Oh I adore this. “ The hope exhaled on a child’s dandelion wish” This is utter love and just lovely. 👏👏👏
"Gold, tweaked to be more affectionate" - I love this bit! 😁
Love your golden poem! Great job!
The sand spread out on a coastline… sweet happiness! I’m sure you’re a source of happiness to your mother too!
How endearing! What a sweet tribute! 😊
That last word, kind of caught in my metaphorical throat. I don't know why, but suddenly tying all of that warmth to this figure like that had quite the emotional impact.
What a beautiful tribute to your Mum. I loved this, Poppy.
