BENEATH THE GENTLE FOXGLOVES
were i a god
I would build a world
not
unlike~
this~
one~
where snow would still
whisper magic in the woods of
weary travellers
where the willowy foxglove
would still guard the
hedgerows of the valleys
where the sky would still weep
and bleed to paint a pink
canvas
where the sea would still roar
and roll its colours beneath the blue mountains
where trees would
still gift berries to feed
the small lives
where the moon would ever
break the dark to play in
the diamond light of stars
where the grass would grow
tall and lush, green and
nutritious for all
and where the lamb would
frolick ever safe ~ for mutton
could never exist
in my world~
and neither would humans
But that's a good thing
isn't it?

Marionette,
You're SO good! I love your world! Especially the end! lol...except maybe our little group on here.
You are just a brilliant writer.
Thanks for your awesomeness!
Hugs,
Matthew.
Lol Matthew, were you waiting in my phone? That was so fast...wow, thankyou. But this isn't the bird one I told you about...that's underneath so while you're here, if you wouldn't mind giving that one a vote as well, not that I care about votes, no not at all, ever...there's a tenner in it?? Lol...seriously thankyou my friend ?
LOL. Actually, when the phone guys were putting in the new lines here, they didn't see me sleeping...I mean working! at my desk here, and ran the lines right through my head, so I got your poem previous to being posted! And it was great. Like music through my ears, and brain. Lovely, Marionette! M.
Lol...more wrinkles, I'm still waiting for that cream ???
LOL! I actually used the cream on my temples after they forced the lines through my cranium(I remember being half asleep...I mean awork! when they were doing it, and one guy saying something about 'Man! this is the hardest substance I've ever put lines through!'), so I've got that going for me!...I guess.
Anyway, I'm sure you're amazing, so don't worry about any wrinkles!
Mateo.
