I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
Afternoon on a Hill by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Good Tuesday morning, poets and poetry lovers. Please link up and share a poem with us, and visit to read the writing of others. The Tuesday Platform is the bedrock of our garden, and we are pleased to see you here!
Have a great week, everyone. Hope you all have the chance to slow down and reflect in a busy time.

The thought of "touch[ing] a hundred flowers/And not pick[ing] one" is sending me to bed with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Marian! And may your week be lovely, too. ♥
