.......


carrots......



laughing in the midst o’ a carrot field
she giggling ran to me

lovely were her freckles
lost in red locks o’ her irish streaming
sea

wyld was her

luve

so terrible in the midst o’
a carrot field

dangerous and so sad

t’would be myne but for
a golden heartbeat
a fleeting
wonderful dream

she was.....

graham..may..2004


whatever was her name ?

so long ago
when as a lad
i worked
in harvest fields.....

Graham, Mountain Poet suggested I read you... I will be thanking him hugely! You capture a moment in time, and the telling of it is what will linger. At once, playful.. but entirely a poignant vision, as well. Bittersweet then, perhaps.. magical, as you write it, now. katy xox.

Ah, Graham m'lad. This brings back memories when I was a young'un running through the pumpkin patch towards a cute freckled girl. And then she gave her pumpkin to some other guy. I was so mad. Dammit, why couldn't I have her pumpkin?

The images are very strong in this, and I like how the ending makes you think. I am impressed how you make the people so alive in such a short space.
