The delight of silly I sat upon a fence of yearn to see what I could. Waited for the meadowlark, to stop if it would. Sing for me or pass me bye or rest upon a tree. To see if yes or not, it was playing coy with me. The field was full of daises with daffodils a distance. I looked upon this beauty with the slightest of resistance. My hope, to leap the fence and roll around in free. But I did not wish to be myself, the only one you see. So I waited for the meadowlark the song that it would sing And I listened and listened to the sound of its flavoring. And I could not make my mind up, it seemed a mystery. When suddenly it touched me and turned it into history. For now I'm off the fence and plucking daisy leaves, She loves me, she loves me not, the latter I believe. And I walk among the daffodils with a paper and a quill. Making up silly rhymes like a mocking bird in trill. And if for but a moment, I've left this mundane world, I'd blame it on the meadow lark and song it did unfurled. |

I think that she would be a fool not to love you... Very light hearted Sy and lovely... 'She loves me, she loves me not, the latter I believe. And I walk among the daffodils with a paper and a quill. Making up silly rhymes like a mocking bird in trill.' She would be a fool not to love you. |

Seymour~ I like you silly and willy-nilly. Strolling through the grass and falling on your *Ahem* Picking daisy petals quick and hoping 'love' will stick. Playing funny rhymes with skill ... if she don't love you WE ALL WILL ! She does and so do we ! Love ya' ~*Marge~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sy, This is a clever poem. It's got a little seriousness in it masked by the rhymes. I liked the "fence of yearn" and the "pass me bye" lines. You might even have another poem in these words and don't realize it. bboog |

To all the above, I don't know how I missed thanking you individually, I must be getting senile. You are all my wonderful friends and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll try not to let it happen again. But no guaranties. |
