Flowers and Other Things

I 
like to 
wear flowers 
in my long tress 
each and every spring 
the robins like 
to nest there 
in my 
hair 

I
always 
leave a crumb 
for them to find 
inside my long braid  
the robins love 
to  peck at   
my plait 
tap 

I 
don't mind 
their flutter 
nor happy trill 
lost in their concert 
I just stand still 
as they play  
with my 
hair

"I just stand still, as they play with my hair" I love everything about this thought, my dear friend, and I would be the sane way. Your words caress softly around me. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

I love wearing flowers in my hair, adorning life with my presence around trees, birds, and nature as they adorn me . Thankyou for your kind visit dear Brandy

Wow! I was developing a healthy admiration for your bravery reading this one, Mystic -- as well as gooseflesh, just thinking about birds pecking about in my hair. Wow again. Smiles, Gershon

When I was young I used to always wear a flower in my hair, no so much these days, but I always felt special when I did, lol, I could think of nothing nicer then birds landing on me, lol

Birds are so smart with such great vision. You can throw a tiny crumb away and about five or more birds will come seemingly from nowhere, to collect it. Such a charming Ninette this is. Blessings xxoo

I think most woman at some point or other tried a flower in their hair, makes one feel like part of nature, thanks for reading Deb
