Among The Cornflowers Poem by David Wood

Among The Cornflowers

Rating: 4.9


I walk through the long grass thinking of you
Soft summer rain doesn’t melt my thoughts,
My shirt sticky drippy wet with the heat and rain.

Cornflowers dipping their wet heads drinking,
Breathing the soft gentle breeze blowing from the west
Their flower heads waving in unison.

I remember your summer straw hat flapping
Around your face and the hole in your jeans.
And Clara wagging her tail nibbling the summer grass.

Through the clouds the moon looked down impotent
In the daylight like some old maid at a wedding
Standing in the corner of the room all alone.

I run my hand through the cornflowers as I walk
Feeling the damp warm earth beneath my feet begin to
Crumble in the soft rain.

The sensibility while deciding where to cut the line, and where to complete the point, is not that common...this poem with long lines of multiple syllable composition gives a pleasure read for both the composition and the content till the last short line...it is excellent!

I can relate to this one very well David. Cornfields was very plentiful where I grew up. I remember taking those long walks and running my hands through the soft and silky tops in the early morning while the ground was still wet and soggy from the dew. Your poem rings about thoughts of love. For me It was very relaxing. Enjoyed this write.
