Soft scents of new frangipanis
Waft gently over evening sprinkles
Tasting sweet orange Kumquats
Under green canvas umbrella

Kumquats and Frangipanis

Heavy lavender blossoms, lifted
by sudden rushes of night wind.

Jacaranda, her scented branches swept into 
dancing alone under the only streetlight.

Hiding further in the dark, bushes of
kumquat fruits, ripely orange,
tempt me to taste them.

In the deep blue air, first stars create
 orbs of light beyond themselves,
glowing hugely in the sultry, silent sky.
