Intermingling



WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

INTERMINGLING

Shadow and reflection intermingle.
Now there are three chairs;
The dark, the comfortable and the mirrored!

THE LANES OF LINCOLNSHIRE

I've never been to Lincolnshire
And the time to go is past.
But the lovely lanes of Lincolnshire
Have caught me and held fast.
The dreamy curves all overhung
With shades of vivid green.
The gate-posts and the fences
And the tufted grass between.
The wondrous ways of England
That I didn't know I'd missed.
And the lovely lanes of Lincolnshire
Leading on into the mist.
*
The land I've chosen spreads so wide
It's greens are muted, soft.
The gums shine silver overhead
And hold their leaves aloft.
The brilliant blue of summer skies
Arcs daily overhead
And the heart of this great country
Is like blood, a brilliant red.
But a lingering love of England
Is still with me, so it seems
And the lovely lanes of Lincolnshire
Lead on into my dreams.
*
The cottages, the village greens,
The cricketers in white
The 'chintzy chintzy cheeriness'
The misty moisty light.
They tell me life has undergone
Some sorry alterations
They tell me mine's the biased view
Of older generations.
They tell me nothing's permanent
And dreams aren't made to last.
But the lovely lanes of Lincolnshire
Lead back into my past.

Clever shot, nice design for the chair and now you've got me wanting to go to Lincolnshire. I lived in England for a long time but I've never been there...

I guess you got 3 chairs for the price of one :) Love your poem. Have never been to Lincolnshire but your words describe the beautiful English country side to perfection.
