Touches of red here and there breathe of life...
...like feeding strays on a lack lustre day
And lilies framed by Aegean blue.
Of the day’s catch pegged out to dry
And of shutters against a Mediterranean sun...
...and balconies with views into tomorrow…
It sighs as it frames a Venetian knock at the door
And sits majestically against a Minoan pot...
whilst perfectly plump tomatoes beckon in the sun.
Red reflects a tether of fishing boats...
as it highlights my days
like vapour trails in a cloudless sky.
