Image from Pinterest

WHISPERS
The yellow ixoras have responded
To the rain showers
Opened like radiant fairy umbrellas

There are children out in the street
Walking past the curb
Now with the phased openings

A passing car is vibzing
One hundred days Christmas music
Like a mobile parang radio station

I saw the clouds darkening again
But no thunder sounded
In the vast ominous above

In a beautiful gilded way
The evening sun is whispering sayonara
Listen! shh, listen.

    I love the imagery of those yellow ixoras opening up. As well as the
    last stanza with the sun whispering goodbye.

    I love the images you have conjured up here, and especially the idea of listening to the sun 'whispering sayonara' ❤️

    All these different images, and at the end, I see what joins them together, for me anyway—the noise. Even those gaudy flowers in the first stanza trumpet. To hear life going on, we have to listen. A thoughtful, respectful cadralor :)
