Lime Squares
Echoes of hot days,
the tonic of gin
with lots of ice to spice
the cooling clink
against the glass
Soda fizz and sliced lemon
in zestful curlings
tango on the tongue,
as the heat recedes
with each slow sip.

Sounds delicious
Looks delicious
Ching ching!

While I’m more of a margarita gal…your limey (pun intended – if it even applies to a British Commonwealth nation such as NZ…I know it’s often used in reference to naval Englishmen…).
Anyway, your luscious poem (changing words!) is enticing!
And the Lime Squares Quilt even more so…
Are you rested from the crafts festival? I’m sure you came back inspired from all you saw, tasted, smelled and ate.
This post shows you’ve been busy at it!

Pun spot on. Thanks for your encouraging comments. Have to confess that this quilt was made in 2006 and that I have had a lazy week

Confessions are good for the soul and for ‘clearing’. Now the day is wide open for new creative endeavors!
Go forth!

Lovely zingy colours in that quilt… And for some reason, I REALLY fancy a G&T right now 😁 Cheers!

Ah one of my favorite things to see on your posts – a poem with a coordinating art quilt (or is it an art quilt with a coordinating poem?) 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement. I do have a few more coordinations of poems and quilts up my sleeve for future posts
