White Violets

White Violets

I very nearly fell asleep
without remembering
The four white violets
and the green sweater
You both made famous
in whatever year it was

But that was long ago
and way before I ever
Fell in love with words
or began this oh’ so
Singular affair with poetry

I remember now though
how they looked
Like four pearlescent stars
pinned to a green field
Left off centre, rising gently
and breathing sighs …

Wow Neville what a visual you captured here. Giving the reader a deep observation of her beautiful form. I could literally see her breathing. You truly have away with words my friend

Neville, if I may call you Neville a touch of class and superb write sir.
And if it's not to late from this struggling so so Welsh poet my belated welcome to Cosmo.
This is the first poem I've read by you and for the record it won't be the last.
For your poetry ink most certainly doesn't disappoint.
Full honours and poetry kudos to you for sharing, deservedly and respectfully given.
