Lovely! :cool:

I'm off to the Lakes shortly, hoping for decent weather and poet inspiration! Have a good day :)

a woven net

did you know
that when you sleep child
all warm with golden curls
a lone fairy comes
your name embroided on her dress
and catches your dreams
metallic flashes in a woven net
to be released
in the deep blue of your future
some will survive, some will get lost
but there is always tomorrow
so dream away little one
and i'll watch o-er

just too damn soppy at the minute, bad for my art...repeat after me...must read plath today, must read plath....

A Greeting

GOOD morning, Life--and all
Things glad and beautiful.
My pockets nothing hold,
But he that owns the gold,
The Sun, is my great friend--
His spending has no end.
Hail to the morning sky,
Which bright clouds measure high;
Hail to you birds whose throats
Would number leaves by notes;
Hail to you shady bowers,
And you green field of flowers.
Hail to you women fair,
That make a show so rare
In cloth as white as milk--
Be't calico or silk:
Good morning, Life--and all
Things glad and beautiful.
