Scent

of hay

in the air

from the farmyard

stack.

      Ahhhhhhhh MICHAEL ~ Oh YES I remember it well ! The smell if the HAY and the scent of HAY~LEY the Farmer's Nubile Daughter !

      She was only the Farmers Daughter
      Doin' what she didn't oughter
      In the Hay @ half past three
      Doin' what comes naturally !

      Love the Cotswolds Pen 'n Ink

        Cheers Brian - ah yes Hayley - I knew her well - in the turnip shed!!

        A fine write and pic M. But would we want a roll in THAT pongy hay?! lol.

        • Michael Edwards

          Better than the turnip shed O - I can assure you of that !!

        • orchidee

          Cccoooeeee one-minute into the day UK poet!

          • Michael Edwards

            Trouble is you can only click on to 'publish' at one second past the hour and by the time you've copied the poem, and given it a title and pushed the publish button 2 minutes is as about as quick as it can get. I publish first and add the picture straight away after to save a bit of time - is that cheating?

            • orchidee

              Nope, not cheating! Erm, could you start 5 or 10 minutes the previous 'day''? But then it may say you've had your poem for the day, come back later! No worries, as I shan't be there at 4am or whatever the UK time is to be the first poet. What is the exact UK time that you post your poems? Oooh but 23 minutes is nearly half the day gone! lol.

              Wonderful Lanterne, Michael. Grew up in a small farm village, and this brings back lots of memories! And this time the lantern shape looks great!

              • Michael Edwards

                Thanks Fred - I was raised on a small holding with goats, geese, chickens etc and the smell of hay is something special to me as well.

                I'm smelling it.
