Grass Talk

(my muse still focusing on blades of grass)

i don't need no diamonds

or pearls of luminous sheen

the stone that fell from my

white gold ring, can be 

replaced by a plait of green

If you ever publish these as a collection Chris, it should so be on hemp paper 😀
I like how the grass theme is keeping tickling your mind. It leaves me wondering what such a collection would be called... A lawn of poetry? Every 8th one would have to be a daisy though 😀

[Chris Shaw]

Now ya talkin. I love daisies too. Maybe due for a daisy poem although I have paid my tributes to the sweet daisy before. Ta Lorry have a good day.

This is a perfect example of simple living and high thinking. A beautiful life need not be one full of expensive things. Appreciated very much.

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Pestonjee for your thoughts. Sadly we live in materialistic times. Not the way I was brought up. The luxuries would be fine, if at least everyone had sufficient for their needs. Not so. Many have nothing, not even a roof over their head.

Many senior people tell me that people were more generous and sharing in earlier days brought much joy. Hence, a little used to go a long way. You're right, Ms. Chris. These are more materialistic times.

That's reminds me when children make rings and crowns from Dandelions. It's kind of like ritual of spring and youthful energy. For sure wearing heavy diamonds or pearls is not comfortable. Better ring for one season then heavy weight for life time. Great observation is at your words.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Martin. I was a child who made daisy chain crowns, and blew dandelion heads to tell the time. I never wear a watcheven now.

Well I did wear watch after my grandfather. They was very old but actually worked still with me over 20 years.

Yes, there is something about the natural green that surpasses all human artifice. Of course, I wouldn't try to make that argument to a pawnbroker.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you John and yes, the pawnbroker would certainly not agree. Thank you for checking in. Most appreciated.

Trees, flowers and grass are a girl's best friends.
Where were you when only expensive jewelry seemed to suffice?
Could have saved a fortune happily unpacking a picnic basket in some rustic setting.
Charming poem.

[Chris Shaw]

A picnic would do very nicely these days but many years ago a sparkler was an essential. Time changes people. Thank you Jimmy.

if your love has a luminous sheen, what else do we need?
fancy being replaced by comfortable...
real love is like that.

Thank you Jacob. Comfortable loving is fine. I don't need any luxuries.
