Winter in the tropics
last winter, I traded the Seattle freeze
for the tropics
the early morning breeze makes me forget
I am near the equator
it is warm and sunny during the day
my mother tending to her garden
that is all lush and green
there are leaves shaped like hearts
mother tells me those are called sensation
the bright red flowers like pom poms are powderpuffs
she lets me know that those are my dad's favorite
skies in the perfect shade of blue
I watch the large puffy clouds,
most likely cumulus
and the earth cooling again at night
each day just like the last
