Touching Base

Hello Poetry Lovers

Now that we are actually in summertime (I think?), I’ve found this lovely seasonal piece by Sharron Green.

So descriptive and personal, I couldn’t resist illustrating her poem and sharing it with you.

I would love to write a piece like this, but all I have at the moment is a summer triolet that I will have to blow the cobwebs off.

This is a much classier poem, I know you’ll enjoy it. Do read on…

Touching Base

Sit me in a flower bed.
Let the perfume fill my head.
Chase away the angst and dread.
Leave me feeling calm.

Plonk me on a tired bench.
Freeing it will be a wrench.
Feel my frowny face unclench.
Breathe in nature’s balm.

Park me by a tinkling stream.
Let the ripples wash me clean.
Save the scene for my next dream.
Gardens work their charm.
