For today’s post of Something Old, I have chosen an ancient love poem. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.
The Flower Song (Excerpt)
To hear your voice is pomegranate wine to me:
I draw life from hearing it.
Could I see you with every glance,
It would be better for me
Than to eat or to drink.

Yup, I like it, indeed I do.
Great poem! Thanks for sharing.
I'm stopping by to check out all the "something old" blog posts for freedom to marry week.
Good morning, Dave and Andy! I'm so glad you like this. I think it is a real gem.
Love the poem!! Happy Freedom to Marry Week!!
Don't Lick the Ferrets!: When I read you username, I thought, "That sounds like something I'd have said to my kids when they were small." And sure enough, it is a Mom-ism! :)
Your blog is delightful and your smile is glorious, DLF. (btw, love the hat!) I wish you and your family a beautiful week!
Oh, I love the pomegranate wine! I am asking poet bloggers to send to me their favorite famous poem and a link to their blog so I can feature one a day during National Poetry month on my blog. I'd love to have you on board! irene at irenelatham dot com
Count me in, Irene! Thank you.
