Sundrenched particoloured moggies
Bask patchwork squared
Back of the Uni kitchens.
 
Dreadlocks Jo who never quite left
And Biker Bill
Pitch up between trees.
Hearing finches twitter, they
Boil and roast roots on redsky embers,
Skinnydip the star-twink loch.
 
Burly tattooed old Bill
Slips near invisible
Inside a permaculture lecture.

Quite brilliant. Fresh and modern with lively imagery and imaginative use of language.

Not sure about the punctuation in the second verse.

Scorpio might have a point re' the second stanza.
