Love in my Bonnet

I was tripping along, not a touch of a care
round the edges of one morning you were there
framed in a cloud was the sweetest face
nuzzled at my heart in its softest place
if I wake in the coldlight with sense forlorn
could your blanket of love keep me warm
if in the dusk I am stilled by fear
will I be soothed from the sense you are near
now a reluctant heart cannot be won
if you loved me back it would be such fun!

I love the new love themed poem Carol , but aren't bees usually in bonnets? , I think your buzzing friend would be jealous

there you were gettin' all touchy feely and everything til you insisted on fun. oh well. this is lovely prose. a talent you seem to be awash in. where's your photo of you in a bonnet? the face of spring eternal.....

Nice poetry Carol, love "if I wake in the coldlight with sense forlorn, could your blanket of love keep me warm" nice sentiments.

Bonnet? More like a witches hat. I have to confess, that blasted bee did inspire the title. I guess I should change it, but you've seen it now!

Doesn't Bonnet in England refer to the
front hood of a Car? Therefore Carol Joyce
does this not refer to love under the hood!?

Good write.

I loved all of the following words:
if I wake in the coldlight with sense forlorn
could your blanket of love keep me warm
if in the dusk I am stilled by fear
will I be soothed from the sense you are near

C.J. - a lovely poem under your bonnet, couplets of rhyme with meter upon it. such fun in deed! ;-)
