poppies red by Peter Humphreyspoppies
red
shy
in
fields
of
corn
clouds
white
creep
bye
in
gathering
dawn
whisper
black
shadows
insinuate
a
goldening
morn
as
we
fall
together
life
is
borne 10/07/2006 Posted on 10/07/2006 Copyright © 2025 Peter Humphreys

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 10/08/06 at 04:09 AM Peter, I love this. It's so tender and gentle, yet evokes all the colors your represent. These are the kind of words that a woman loves to hear from a man.
