Hidden Secrets.

Walk along the woodland track,

Where branches arch to cloak the sun.

When days of rain have left their sheen

And all the boughs are glistening black.

 

A sheltered corner shows it's face.

It breathes a different air.

It speaks of untold secrets

Which may be hidden there.

Darkened hollows-

An embrace of boughs,

Will bid you step inside.

 

Walk forward, fearless in to this place

If you possess an open mind-

Your eyes believe in what you feel

And your senses are attuned.

For whispers of the wind draw near

And all it's secrets you will hear.

This would make a nice intro to a fairy tale ... what will happen to the young lad/maiden as they enter the enchanted arbor?

Ah right, well as you know

Ah right, well as you know I've put up a couple on F.book, but I'm not really comfortable doing it. Guess its a confidence thing, Don't want people who know me to think, "what's she putting that rubbish on there for?"  I know you say you don't care what people think and if mine were as good as yours neither would I. personally I like mine, and between you and I, think they're ok.But embarrassed to post really. Sorry, this is a long reply.

I think your works are good

I think your works are good too. If people don't like what you post--then they don't have to read them. Anyway, there are a lot of people that like reading poetic works. So--post if you have a notion..

That was wowey !!!!!!!!!!! A sailor swears on his ore

That was wowey !!!!!!!!!!! A sailor swears on his oar/ore.

 

The wondrous magnificence of nature 

Path under the canopy of leafy bowers

Just washed clean after a shower

Silence reigns,peace dwells,a sailor tells

Listen!! Hark!! Your words are true blue

It's a wonder how for so long I didn't read you !!
