A blue saucer of a sky,
a yellow egg-yolk of a sun
with the whites of fluffy clouds.

Sliced slabs of golden sunshine
on the baked brown earth
like butter, melting
on crisp brown bread.

A stream, clear and sparkling
with the refreshing tang
of fresh lime soda.

To the famished,
imagery creates
its own food for thought.
