Where I am today

The paths are petal shrewn Dandelion clocks abundantly beautiful as they are not in my garden My thoughts simple and uncomplicated The dog met some piglets, both animals curious As the Harris Hawk swung nearby deep or absent of thought I hear the aeroplanes taxi and have no desire to be on them Saw a lone ladybird and my eyes received it the same as if it were 1986 There is dew on the grass, perhaps it gathers to quench the thirst of fairies I told the dog that if you held a buttercup under his chin I could tell if he liked butter - he exuded tolerance as a response, which I adore in a walking companion :) On this final stretch are the back garden fences With snippets of lives pouring out into a Spring day And my life, anywhere I care to take my feet and thoughts

This is so evocative of the walk during a spring afternoon, I like the imagery of dandelion clocks and dew to quench the thirst of fairies, funny I also heard that if you hold a buttercup under someone's chin it will show if they like butter!

Someone somewhere invented it and it got into the collective consciousness - it's a sweet game to play with children, although I just told the dog about it and remained none the wiser on whether he likes butter haha. Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it x

I enjoy the relaxing, carefree spirit of your springtime walk. It would seem to be a lonely poem if it were not for the dog. You brought a simple hike to become an exciting adventure.
