This poem was inspired by Colleen’s post Not alone. On looking back, I find that my last Rapid Rhyme was also inspired by Colleen whose magnificent blog you can find here.
If you have not read anything of C Faherty Brown’s words, nor seen her delightful, and insightful, drawings, then I would recommend that you delve into them. Her books, too, are a joy, and her latest, “The Sentinel”, also features a tree. It truly is a magnificent story which, uncharacteristically, features not a single picture. The words themselves are picture enough.
This is what Colleen inspired:
By the tree
in the tree
playfully
you and me
went on dates
__.__
Girl and boy
fun ahoy
boy oh boy
what a joy
consummates
__.__
Shared a life
man and wife
free from strife
love was rife
best of mates
Truly gorgeous Peter, and course Colleen is truly inspirational
