Word love


The words,

their words,

filled these  fleeting days~

Yeats and Cummings

and moons the size of

copper coins.

And every bit as bright.

Sitting at the waves

I watched a little girl play hopscotch

and thought back to

my girlhood

which  seemed only like a blink ago.

All the words are crowding into my mind again

words like boater hats and

old dusty poetry books~

daisies growing through the floorboards.

I hope they never end.

I love them
and only ever want to
speak of love.

  1. I can remember playing hopscotch in the school playground. Such a simple game but so much fun. I also loved skipping!

    I know exactly what you mean about girlhood slipping away in the blink of an eye. I still often think of myself as a girl because I look so much younger than I am, but I'm not. Not really...

    Sorry I've been away a while.

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
