Oranges and Lemons

 
She sat beneath the orange tree
watching in the shade
on a dreamy afternoon,
olive trees and rosemary
wine glass spilling on the grass,
drying in the sun.
Oranges and lemons
nursery-rhymes childrens’ songs
flying kites and skipping ropes
hide-and-seek ,tricycles,
shouts and laughter in the pool,
cloudless blue and purple sea,
white sails leaning in the breeze,
on  Saturday afternoon
