When Freckles Fly

they come, they go
like soft brown snow
and have been called
kisses of sun, so…

here they are, on fair cheek
come with sun, they come peek
to see if seen, to see if why
some would seek, to see them shy

they come, they go
like soft sweet sigh
and have been called
sunkisses…why?

here they are, touch the skin
of the daughter, come within
she of blonde hair, skin fair
and soft the kiss of freckle rare

they come, they go
like soft sweet kiss
and have been seen
as remiss, why?

cross the bridge, and cross the cheek
sunfreckles cause your skin to pink
and give shimmer and tan glow
sunkisses, across your nose

What a pleasant rhyme, sunshine! It smiles across the page! Do YOU have freckles? Can I  play connect-the-dots sometime?  

This is delightful....

this was a delightful read..carefree and upbeat..with just a touch of tongue in cheek.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Coming from someone who is covered with freckles, this was very sweet!

I'm going to tell you that this is SWEET !
Oh so very, very SWEET !

I always called them a sprinkle of frinkles on my youngest son.
Ohhhhhhhh ... this mommie's heart is melting !
If it wasn't so late I'd call him RIGHT NOW !
But ... I will send him this SWEET poem
and we will both smile with remembering.

Being a redhead I can relate to this oh, so well!!  Loved it.

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

ALL pretty blonde women have freckles.  And ... some blonde men, too.  Some, of course, have more than others.

You notice them a lot on the beach.  Or when dancing.  Or just before a kiss.

Thanks for putting it into words.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

You should see me in summer, I look like someone took a paint brush and flicked it at me!   I think freckles are cute! (I say that because I have them, you know   ) Enjoyed this one very much Sunshine!   -SEA

This is simple wonderful, written like a fairytale. Should be included with the "tooth fairy" and the like. Beautiful.
