Morning Glory, My Love

[angliholic]

If you were a morning glory
then I'd rather be the tall eucalypus you nestle up to

Just to catch a glimse of your violet blue grin in the morning
I'm willing to be entwined a thousand times
by your tender green arms

Nice poem, like imagery it show as I readied in my head.
Favourite line is:Just to catch a glimse of your violet blue grin in the morning

Is that the morning glory euphimism or the flower there, Ang? Good to see you back by the way :)

Softly beautiful text yes.. it evokes ancient chinese love poetry.

Hey, you're back! Was just creeping through your archive two days ago. This one is pretty vivid.


If you were a morning glory
then I'd rather be the tall eucalypus you nestle up to

Rather than what? Why not '... then I'd be...'? The descriptor 'tall' doesn't seem to be doing much. Granted, the concept 'tall' isn't directly implicit in the concept 'tree,' because there are some trees that are not tall, but isn't it nearly?

In a poem so short, it seems like focusing on economy is the way to go.


Just to catch a glimse of your violet blue grin in the morning
I'm willing to be entwined a thousand times
by your tender green arms

There's some nice prosody in the second line of this strophe.

Welcome back, thanks for sharing, keep 'em coming.

Thanks, my dear friends, for the yellow ribons tying on the old oak tree.
I have been away with the summer wind
and come back
shy as a convict returning home
dare not step from the train
if there isn't any yellow ribon on the old oak tree

I'm glad I see many
Thanks to all again.
