Salt Marsh Fields

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

Your Salt Marsh Fields invites your readers to take a peep at possibly a memory of wonderful carefree times. Buckets and spades tells me of childhood. Your imagery is vivid and beautiful. You bring a wonderful ambience to the page and I do believe this is the style that I prefer from your pen best of all. No puzzles, just sheer poetry. Loved your lines Neville.

Amazing use of words Neville. I liked the feel of ancient words and ancient thoughts. A wonderful poem shared my friend.

Now I want to float the meadow breeze on mere whimsical thoughts of a romping romantic time from the past. I love everything about your seductive scenario . . . you do great alliteration, too. To me, the details you express have always been my favorite romantic aspects of sharing time together with someone special. I'd rather nibble a picnic than leave bloated & staggering from a huge dinner in a fancy restaurant! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

we had great childhoods ....those were the days...yes, there were dramas and hardships...but an innocence that doesn't reign now...and the wonderfulness of the first kiss...first dates...writing the names of our girlfriends on our textbooks..exchanging class rings....going steady...
god, what happened?
thanks for this trip back.
