the sun slouches slovenly as syrup down Mt Taylor's west side the small girl swings, white sandals, touching the sky, tiny toes flexed a dog scampers tags like tinkling shells, tinny as new stars in a paperback sky

I love your opening alliteration! And I am glad itβs spring, rather than autumn, here!

I think Britain and Australia are totally different in the ways they experience extreme weather. But yes, even in Australia, I am perhaps unusual in my dislike of summer.

Love the sounds and tastes here, just wonderful:
“the sun slouches
slovenly as syrup”
“…tinkling shells,
tinny as new stars in a paperback sky.”
Such a delicate yet bold poem.
