Freckles

............... I just needed to remind myself of picnics and holidays n stuff :)

Freckles

 

The fine gold necklace

She always wore on

Those foreign holidays

 

Never failed to catch

The sun

And seemed, it seemed

 

To throw back a smile

At almost everyone

With each shallow rise

 

And subsequent fall

Of those ever so lightly

Freckled breasts, of hers

 

Those she did keep hidden

By the way,  

Neath flimsy cotton camisole

 

Though more recently

Sun kissed and even now,

Still fervently blushing ….

Tis a rugby club "game" is freckles. A bunch of well oiled lads place their chins on a table, then 1 other has a dump in the middle and duly belts this with a tray. Whoever has the most freckles is the winner !
A lovely piece of writing Neville.
Hope all is well with you.

Nicely done Sir. You left me wondering where all the freckles went. They were all the rage in the seventies.
Now I'm remembering how they get everywhere. Hmmm, what where we talkin about? 😀

Freckles, considered so sexy by men yet most women hate theirs. My Dad used to call them kisses from the sun and I wrote a poem about them quite a while ago. Fair skin, you get freckles. Remembering holidays and picnics from the past is a good way to lift your spirits. There is much in this write to do that. I liked the way the gold necklace caught the sun on your dear one and smiled. That was quite lovely. Neville.

I think underneath this bronzed tan, I still have a few freckles of my very own ... thank you Chris for taking a peek :)

[Chris Shaw]

I was having a peek at a smiling necklace. I'll have to go back for a second look to notice yer freckles underneath that tanned torso:))

It never ceases to amaze how little it takes to bring out the stunning beauty in someone or enhance it to glory. A piece of jewellery, a flower or even plain sunshine. Your words like the sun itself, caress and worship that beautiful bust!

[Neville]

Thank you PJ and a grand Sunday to you sir :)

[AJNJ]

And to you too! Cheers.....🤗.........!
