Salt Marsh Fields

Neville

Salt Marsh Fields

 

Lavender

Lilac and forget

Me not blue

A blustery breeze

Be blowing but true

Butterflies buckets

And spades

Pon my word

My fine friend

Were those not

The days

 

Golden

And carefree

Sun downwardly

Beating

Cuckoo’s a coo kin

And spring

Lambs a bleating

In salt marsh

Fields silvered

Where we once

Shared our first kiss

 

Aye there

Where a handful of

Poppies provided

A pillow and

Wild garlic grew

In disorganised rows

Tis where we oft

Enjoyed picnics and always

Had daisies n sand tween

Each of our

Perfect pink toes

  • dusk arising

    Great visions come out of this. I think youve encapsulated the magic of a certain stage when we begin to sense something else about girlies. Spring in the air and sap rises.

          • Neville

            am sitting at my computer screen but looking across the old lane at pastures green... thank you for showing an interest.... Neville

          • orchidee

            Thanks N. This sounds like some 'classical' poet's words. Being a bit un-cultured (am I?) I'm not 'into' being an authority on many well-known poets!

            • Neville

              dont worry, far too many hide behind masks... just enjoy, what you enjoy... Neville
