Best Heather Poems

So still and beautiful lays the rose in the heather,
Lifeless and dying, given to bring you happiness,
So fragile is this rose laying in heather,
Slowly withering and drying, crumbling to a powder,
I look at you and see this rose ever fading,
Once growing, living, accenting its surroundings,
But...

Sunlit days I spent on the moor
Sweet Summer heather scents allure
Bathing in waves on Dublin's shore
Aye, Irish lore       Aye, Irish lore

Crumbling castles on exhibit
Pricey ticket;  warm day visit
Guinness stout without a limit
Tastes exquisite    Tastes exquisite

Stung...

"Heather"

such a tumultuous quiet discourse
crochet hooked and thinking on wheels,
the wrong turns, sometimes thoughts move
to the recalcitrant one, another tumultuous heart,
mixed feelings like heavy storm clouds move 
towards the vociferous missing one, 
who looks on from that place in the gut,
intuition, the compass and metronome...

The sweet girl’s name is Heather
Wispy…light as a feather
She read my first rhyme
She thought it sublime
Her words bring sunny weather

Straight off she made me a fav
My little heart she did save
She liked what she read
My starved heart she fed
A boost to my soul she gave

Oh...

Heather in a garden
Or heather in a store
Flowers beg a pardon,
Lovely forever more.

Vines climb up a wall,
Effortlessly tall
Vines climb up a gate,
Chopping is their fate.

Flowers and vines,
‘til the end of times.
Together forever
Trumpets and heather....

Heather. Lucky heather .
I can still hear her Irish tone 
Heather, Lucky heather
This beautiful  gypsy stood alone .
Her raven hair cascading 
like a midnight waterfall 
Heather, Lucky heather
In the market place she calls . 

Her emerald eyes smiling 
As I stop so I might...

YOUR WALMART GIRL
----verse 1
Sometimes some things just happen.
Sometimes we need a touch to help us get by.
When it's not there we wonder why.
I know your hand is lonely.
It's in your touch I see it there in your eye.
All I can do is wonder why.
------chorus
Why can't...

broad blue horizons - 
wet toes curl in soft sand dunes
soaking in sunshine

You can't fool a dancer,

hard reverb coming at you like Prancer-

welcome-wagon interstellar like Lancer-

When did my steam stop? 

Holly weedin'! 
Where did you chop chop?

Welcome here...
Its home in the winter.

Fiona, fair beauty, fleet footed and fancy free,
Flits over the field,
Full of life and fun, a joy to see.
 
She’s my Bonnie canine, sweet and good,
Loving and loyal, a regal golden,
Her tail held high, 'til coursing the woods.
 
Wild is my Heather as her namesake...

I once met a girl whose name was Heather,
whatever she wore ‘twas always leather.
It rained, it poured, we got all wet,
She said, “this leather smells like sweat”,
Before each date, she now checks the weather....

A shepherdess, I’ll call her Heather
Loved coitus when dressed in black leather
High up in the hills
She’s getting her thrills
And getting wet in the wild weather

The farmer, his first name is Jock
Was willing to get out his cock
To have lots of nookie
Whilst her sheepdog, Rookie
Saw little...

Oh say! Under a mischievous sky
 A minstrel came singing and seeing me cry
" what are you facing?" Upon seeing me vexed
My soul is afflicted and deeply perplexed
I am charged with writing but cannot lie
Both my words are quitting and my pen is dry
He spoke...
