Color of lemon, mango, peach, <br />These storybook villas <br />Still dream behind <br />Shutters, thier balconies <br />Fine as hand- <br />Made lace, or a leaf-and-flower pen-sketch. <br /> <br />Tilting with the winds, <br />On arrowy stems, <br />Pineapple-barked, <br />A green crescent of palms <br />Sends up its forked <br />Firework of fronds. <br /> <br />A quartz-clear dawn <br />Inch by bright inch <br />Gilds all our Avenue, <br />And out of the blue drench <br />Of Angels' Bay <br />Rises the round red watermelon sun.<br /><br />Sylvia Plath<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/southern-sunrise/
