RHYMES FOR A REASON: Say It Again Pam
I love the woods when nature sings an "Oldfield" tune. and "Gershwin" sees his "Rhapsody In Blue."
I love the "Forties" sort of way,
your double-breasted coat
has a "Bogey" kind of look.
"Bergman" style, I take your arm,
smile into a silvery face,
remembering our summers.
Crumbling bones, stolen by the seasons,
stoop to pluck a memory.
I love forget-me-nots.
By Mrs B Adamson, Drakehouse Lane, Sheffield S20.
