The sweetest named peas march before me...
All named historically.

But wasn't the fragrance a delight to remember...Oh and was not the re-thatch simply a delight. As far as 'Harlot' is concerned 'Scarlet' is not everyone's favourite tone especially when it has been expertly tuned. Sid.xx.

Hey, the poem is lovely. I must say I have heard of mickle, although the spellchecker does not seem to recognize it. As for ‘hath away’, I have a suspicion that the author meant ‘hie away’ as in ‘to quickly be off or I shall be late’. (I must admit that Hathaway did come into my mind.) About those peas, I have a wonderful garden of sweetpeas of every color including some luminous white beauties. I appreciated the peas very much. The only suggestion I would make would be in the word ‘paleness’. I might have said ‘palette of pastels ‘. A lovely poem, so don’t sell yourself short. Adeline
