Bluebell Books Short Story 8

Love in a wheat field.




















My heart, my mind, my soul infuse
With sweetest love, my body use.
But ‘ere we lay
Here in the hay
Please help me find my effing shoes!

  6. You rascal! I looked at the title, the lovely image you chose, the first line you wrote and thought 'wow - Stafford has written a love story for the ages.'
    I'm left with a chuckle and a silly smile plastered on my face ~ not a bad way to begin my day.

  7. Great little ditty. Cheeky; I love it when sentimentality gets deflated by an unexpected ending.

    Should there be an additional 'my' in the last line?
