Guile in a Wile While wondering through a field of words I picked thee a bouquet. I was guided by a flock of birds. In mornings light display. It's there I plucked some fertile turn Just a sprite of humor. A thistle of delicate fern Green and early bloomer. I added too some blue of dawn And just a little pink I wrapped it in the mist of morn And set inside a wink. I grant it is a wild bouquet Was meant to bring a smile I hope you take it as repay And cherish it awhile. Wet nurse it till it changes look Then press it in a book. |

I like this so very much, it tickles me all the way through! My favorite, though there are MANY second favorites here, is the line about 'wondering through a field of words' that is so clever, it grabs the mind superbly, well this mind, anyway  |

Wild bouquets are some of the lovelist around. I like the way the images just flow together in this one like a movie unfolding before my eyes. Wonderful work, Sy. All writing comes |

I wrapped it in the mist of morn And set inside a wink. That must explain why it's staying fresh and beautiful and brightening my heart. *S* This is delightful, Seymour! |
