These were part of my childhood too Ernestine. Your imagery is wonderful and I can relate to all your words and 'flower words'. 10 Karin Anderson
This is so beautiful Ernestine, I love pastoral poems and this is up there with the best. Wonderful work. Andrew x
Simplicity is an art and God is the greatest artist of all. He is the Creator of flowers and gifted poets. Lovely work, Ernestine. Warm regards, Sandra
Daisy! daisy! give me your answer do, in a, poem, caught in a time by you A wonderful moment caught in the heart of a wonderful person Love Duncan X
I sat in the garden and made a daisy chain only the other day - they were about to be mown over! Your poem captured the perfection of these simple flowers in such detail - a beautifully observed composition Ernestine. Warmest wishes, Justine.
I admire anyone who can fit 'dasiy chains' in perfect metre- I was going to use it for Middle Class Romance but couldn't make it work! What this poem shows, is your power in making the everyday parts of life seem extraordinary. The eye for detail is unimpaired, Ernestine.
Lovely poem. Well said! One of the most refreshing poems I have read in a while.
