That Knight -- (55)


.

.

.

There he comes

Sword in hand


No, it’s not a sword


There he comes

With his bow and arrows


They are not arrows

Nor a bow


It’s a bouquet

Of beautiful red roses


Wrong again

It is a bunch of grass

For the goat he keeps

In his back yard


But he’s a nice man…

Oh Dulce, my very first thought upon reading these 55 was this:

She is SO sweet. He IS her Knight in Shining Armor, with weapons at the ready.

His weapons are his love for animals entrusted to him, his love of (probably) nature, of God, his steadfastness, his faithfulness, his dependability, his tenderness, his wisdom, his love for HER No Matter What.

And...he knows she loves HIM, even though that he is not Don Juan, or Eric the Red.

For these are the attributes which REALLY matter to this girl. And she loves him dearly.

And just maybe...just it might be...her name is Dulce!

how mistaken we are so often. Judging so quickly.

I dont really care for roses so the grass for his goat I find more attractive.

BTW, goat milk with brandy...divine! a little secret of my native country Colombia

Loved this wee 55. A closer look sometimes gives the REAL picture which we always tend to miss while fantasising.

Joy always,
Susan

Now this 55er will be hard to surpass, a most enchanting and endearing love poem, and I so love what Steveroni wrote that in itself is a short poem or a tender 55er.

You do have a way of magically summoning the spirit- the essence of love.

Cheers,
Joanny

haven't even thought of what to write yet..

Nevine Sultan said...

Dulce, this is so simple and so sweet. A very humble and down-to-earth 55... from a sweet sweet mind... to hearts waiting to receive.

Big hugs,
Nevine

Claudia said...

this is fantastic - a bunch of grass - sometimes a bunch of grass tells more than 100 red roses…don't you think?

Bubba said...
