DAISY CHAINS
You sought to woo me
and bedazzle me
with over the top
grand gestures
a myriad of flowers
filling your car boot
to over flowing
they were beautiful
so perfect, so beguiling
but complete madness
a bouquet of utter folly
my heart cried
my soul was pierced
tears filled my eyes
you tried so hard
yet you were never
going to capture me
its life’s irony
you see
for I was to be content
with a simple daisy chain
picked on Anlabee’s hill.

oh gosh girl, you makin' me cry a little. This is beautiful in a hearbreaking kinda way.
ReplyDeleteHow is the study going or should I be smacked for using such a horrid word.
I had a bit of a scare this week speaking to my co-ordinator she didn't get one of my units - I sent it before the holidays, and it contained quite a bit of labelling and fluffing about manually that I really did not want to have to redo. The lucky phone call come this afternoon, they have it oh phew they have it, safe and sound.
Have a lovely weekend at your place and hoping you are able to take a wee study break to rest and replenish over the weekend.
Hi ya Tiffany..lovely poem as always. Even my grandsons have liked making daisy chains with me ; ) How's the health stuff going I wonder? i have a feeling you are such a lovely mother. Both my boys got sick such a lot when they were little, Anna not quite so much. They are both well & robust in their 20's & I have to say that the most joyous thing is having such a great friendship with them both as grown-ups..phew!!.. we got there & it's so good that we did. Hope you have a relaxed weekend. Cooking anything interesting? Much love Catherine x
