Come-a-Day

Come-a-Day

 

Dandelion clocks dancing on breezes

cuckoo spit, pollen, tickles, and sneezes

 

In the shallows, the petals of fallen

wild flowers

 

Cast shadows and tease

those sucked in by warm thermals

 

Yes there in the dapple where the current

bites deepest

 

Where once there was laughter

and of course, happy ever afters …

 

Spied only by sprites and by nymphs and by

dragonflies

 

That’s where he knows

he shall lay with thee some come-a-day …
