Flora

about flowers and love

Ox-eyed daises,red clover, harebell, irish lady`s tresses,

Corncake; underwash for roots

                                       small grains of seed

                                       a carpet of marsh orchids

                                       falls quietly under your lace.

Your eyes alive as a Spring tide.

Skin as fresh as young grass.

Laughter as wicked as dancing thistle;

                                       the sky shakes

                                       we are bedded in moss

                                       soft as the deep

                                       in which we pleasure.

Vibrant images, carefree as nature intended. Nice work.

"Laughter as wicked as dancing thistle" great word usage and wonderful imagery.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

great last two lines...there are many love poems written...and there seems a pattern to them...

you break that pattern in such an individual way...and your voice when speaking of passion
is "soft as the deep"

I enjoyed the whimsical aspect of your write. Lovely and passionate! :)

my fave line is 'skin as fresh as young grass' .. the whole poem is delightfully joyful .. I love the focus on Nature's beauty and how you bed us within it
