Lorikeets rainbow the scented gum tree
as azure sky hangs dew drop clouds to dry.
Floating on lines of lemon and sweet pea
scent wafts through that summer of you and I.

Bittersweet fragrance brings memories here
as I climb coppice hills and rain-blamed days.
Run through fields of your blue iris eyes near
the Maiden’s Wattle tree where our love sways.

Your Valentine card is wrapped in youth’s heat,
A wild rose runs with me to your hot hands.
Pulling me down, our dare devil lips meet
and morning glory bursts in gold blushed sands.

I’ve kept your Valentine card, smudged that year
when Maiden’s Wattle died, each puff a tear.

This is very pretty. I especially love the last two lines.

Love can be bittersweet, but it is also blind and we run headlong into it when we are young.

A lovely and imaginative sonnet from the romantic nib of your pen my friend.

How wonderful that you still have the tear stained Valentine card... love must still be lingering somewhere in those coppice hills.

The bitter-sweet memories of first love well captured in this poem Karin... There are many memorable lines too.. I particularly liked the closing lines
