Daisies in the Grass
Virginia Salter

little girl
sitting in the grass
blades tickling her thighs and calves
as she makes a daisy chain
for her mommy
and herself

the sunshine
warms her curls
as she carefully thumbnail slices
each stem
poking the next one in and pulling it through

beautiful, tiny white daisies
polka-dotting the playground
sparkling in the sun
waiting there
to become ankle bracelets
necklaces

spring and summertime
dressings
that speak of love
tenderness
joyful “in-the-park” play
skipping, running
dancing in gentle breezes

Very nice images painted here. Took me back to my childhood where I was fascinated with daisies, buttercups, dandelions and even razor grass.*S*
Thank you.

Doesn't seem too long ago, that I sat and made these bracelets. Only they were with dandelions. We didn't have daisys. Nice poem. Joyce
