If I could, I'd pop my top, Push you down inside, Be the hard outer shell, Your first line of defense. Happy as a clam, I'd guard The pearl of great price inside.
funny, i too, loved matryoshkas. i think i had a set when i was younger. they were all around, to be found on the shelves - you know, we were bordering the former Soviet Union :)
while it is a lovely poem, and i can see it as that, i sense another voice, too - an obsessive/possessive one. go figure :)
I love this beautiful little poem Karen, and thankyou for visiting my blog. Sorry you lost your pond, but the creek must be lovely and more natural too.
SzelsoFa - i bought a set when I was in Hungary. I have at least one set in all of the main rooms of my house. The feeling I have is one of fierce protection.
Like the new colour scheme here, Karen; very Spring-tastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the Matryushka dolls and wish I had one of my own.
"I'd pop my top," is a wonderful phrase and the whole poem is a gem.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing these images.
ReplyDeleteOh this is EXACTLY how I feel about Mike! He's such a softy & I'd like to just coat him in my hard Bug shell :)
ReplyDeleteThNks, all. Okay! It's your turn. What do you collect?
