SPRING, Thoughts Turn.........

Might, today I lay with you
in this field of lush spring clover
just as the sun drives off the dew
with the cool of morning not yet over?

We'll spread a blanket on the ground
to keep the biting bugs at bay
and listen to the lonely sound
of a train's whistle far, far away.

The clouds will flee in tattered sky
chasing away the last night's rain
while overhead the song birds fly
then alight and sing joyful refrain.

Our hands somehow seek each other out
and our fingers soon intertwine
while hints of life flit all about
encircling us like young woodbine.

I roll over toward the one I love
and we share a short soft kiss
while thanking the sun above
for this day filled with perfect bliss.

There are a few of us that take poems off the stream due to no comments, I am one and fail to see why after all the work we both do that there is a shortage of comments.
This piece needs a little work but that surly is why this site is here to correct any problems we find when reading.
I have been on the verge of leaving several times due to lack of interest, not only in the poems or work I do but in those that cant be bothered to answer when we do comment..
There is nothing seriously wrong with this piece and as you cant understand where all those that are on this site go to, I gave up a couple of weeks ago and took quite a few of my pieces off.
Rula, bless her, noticed they had gone but that was all I rest my case lol.
Take care out there hope you are better soon, Yours Ian..

Good to see you are up and about while I'm still a bit under the weather. Between the two of us maybe at least one will keep complacency down a bit lol. I appreciate your kind words but I already see at least one thing to change..........stan
