Blades of grass grow green,
With water and soil and sun.

Lovely Linda....smiling at you.


The freshly cut grass
comes in on children's shoes.
the house is laughing.

But if purple be
these blades of grass between toes...
I still need to mow.

Smell the grass fresh mown
Scented essence of life's breath
sweet from Mother's breast

I always enjoy your work, you make me smile.

Choo!

smell the fresh mown grass
wafting, weaving on the air
Ah-choo! Ah-choo! Ahhhh-!

(I love your poem, I love a green lawn, it is a verdant mantle, but I must admit it gives my nose fits when I mow mine or "they" mow theirs.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

May all your paths in life be as sweet and green as the new grass in Spring!
