The troubadour seeks hellibores
As his muse,
He visualises a heart wreath made of
Velvet warm petals, meek rose pink
Twinkling flowers and snow whites in fine fettle:
A delicate meander of pattern and colour.
From his medieval stone garret,
He weaves his words of love and valour.
On Saturday morning I went on an early morning bird song walk around the village and our woodland. It was so wonderful to learn so much about birds’ songs, how to identify birds by their songs and how they communicate to each other, it was fascinating and inspired me to write this poem.
My nature walks will never be the same again! I wish I had a fabulous long lens for my camera but then I couln’t realistically take my dogs on the walks and the dogs and I always walk together. Enjoy and have a lovely day. 🙂
Soulful roses,
Lover’s tipsy posies
They sip dewy petal potions
As their rouched lips
Whisper
A tryst…
Betroval.
First blossom,
Scenting
Blustery mornings
Like freshly
Laundered linen.
Fairy bride’s millinery,
Glowing with
Knowing fragility
Sewing silver
Threads
Around
Bethrothed heads,
Beginning
Of March,
They be wed.
Crumbling stones
Gently moan.
Creeping foliage,
Home to mice,
Owls and bones.
Ramblers
Seeking solace,
Listen to
Nature’s songs.
Even on a winter’s afternoon, Ayot St. Lawrence’s ruined church is still romantic and beautiful. Tiny snowdrops surround the ancient graves like frozen tears. After our walk, we sat in the car drinking tea from a flask and eating home-made cake, whilst I scribbled away in my notebook. Hertfordshire has so many delightful and atmospheric villages to explore.
Ethereal mist
Flows through
The wrought iron
Aged bench
Whispering
Messages of love,
Weaving hope
Amongst heavenly
Herbs
And golden buttercups.
Years of enduring love
Creak sympathetically
With weathered wood,
Serenely surveying
The synergy of nature
Like the romantic celebration
Of eternal love.
Spring’s warm glow,
Romantic mists flow
In the Celendine and Snowdrop breeze.
Optomistic swallows tease,
Young greens twist
Through reeds.
