If you but looked inside my mind
you would glimpse a wondrous place,
where lovers woo as ring-doves fly
and dragonflies give chase...

where soft winds tease a verdant pond
and butterflies, long tarry,
on yellow kingcups – daffodils,
blue gentian and rosemary.

If you but looked inside my heart
therein would lie such treasure,
more precious than the finest jewels
and wealth no man could measure.

A moth’s kiss now upon those eyes
I place, as you lie sleeping;
oh, maiden, fair – my heart is thine,
say ‘tis I of whom you’re dreaming.

A wonderful Misummer Night's Dreamy poem that seems pretty perfect structurally. How long did that last stanza take to get right? :-)

Hi, Julie - you enjoyed and I am pleased. I am glad too that you noticed its somewhat Shakespearean style - something I penned just to try and evoke days gone by, and it would seem to have worked;-) It is always good to hear from you and I much enjoy reading your fresh and original thoughts. Speaking of which, have a lovely weekend;-) Tina xx

Hi, Julie. Speaking of Shakespeare, I too was a bit 'at sea' with some of his plays, etc. What helped me was going to see some of them when the opportunity arose. That gave me a whole new understanding and appreciation. Hope your weekend's going well and don't stop 'patting that butter into shape'. You're doing really well. Tina;-)xx
