I gave her a flower, a cute little pretty thing <br />picked from the edge of the path where we strolled <br />yellow and blue she accepted it sweetly <br />and said 'I will treasure this till I am old' <br /> <br />I sat under oak trees that grew by the river <br />I offered support as she sat by my side <br />she said ' what a picture to find a place like this' <br />'the calming brook makes me feel oh so alive' <br /> <br />We sat and we chatted about different subjects <br />nature and wishes, the season of spring <br />she said she had printed a book from a website <br />exclaiming that poetry was really her thing <br /> <br />'I like Treat and Mooney and Ori and Wyllie, ' <br />'Leclerc, Gale and Nagy are some that I love, ' <br />'They show such emotion and on the site forum <br />discuss life with others I'm really fond of' <br /> <br />I said I would check it, it cultured my interest <br />she said 'if you want', 'it's poemhunter.com' <br />last week while out shopping I bought a computer <br />I'll look up this site after dropping you home <br /> <br />We watched as an acorn splashed into the river <br />it drifted down past where some water voles played <br />we kissed as we made our way back to the carpark <br />where she picked a flower I still have today.<br /><br />Charles M.
