Rhoda Tripp Poet Lyric

The Web We Weave For Love

Staring out of my window panes
at open fields and weather vanes
on my tractor seat, a woman's glove?
and I'm thinking about
the web we weave for love

Freshly tilled garden and the smell of dirt
Somewhere a farm girl that wants to flirt
and a pigeon soars or is it a dove?
and I'm thinking about
the web we weave for love

Tapping the glass makes a shepherd alert
and he's roaming around my field of dirt
only he knows what I'm dreaming of
and that I'm thinking about
the web we weave for love

Things I don't know, but one thing's for sure
a bed of roses I've grown for her
Outside a flag is waving above
and I'm thinking about
the web we weave for love

Through the window pane a windmill turns
and inside my heart a fire burns
Somewhere a girl that I'm dreaming of
and that I'm thinking about
the web we will weave for love

She and I will weave that web

CayCay Godwin May 4, 2018 at 8:40 AM I love how you did this poem, a clever, catchy and dramatic delivery of loveliness. This is a gem, unique and enchanting. Great closing line, too. You are the entire package, wherever you are, you are that. All the best and be blessed ... CayCay

Paul Callus April 11, 2018 at 11:36 AM Very lovely lyrics, Rhoda. This poem appeals to me for obvious reasons...both the farm and windmill are part of my distant youth. Regards // paul Rhoda Tripp April 29, 2018 at 6:50 PM Paul...I remember you saying about how you grew up on a farm and I think that is awesome that we have that in common. Maybe that is why I felt comfortable early on asking for your help with my writing. Maybe farm folks have a certain aura of approachability.
