little hands hold a curious rodent nose twitching against my face, "mummy, george is giving you a kiss" and so, in intent, is george's guardian
the slobbery innocence of a tiny mouth, not truly pursed, on my face
the kiss-by-proxy of a shared drink
the kiss of nature in a rainbow
butterfly kisses on smooth young cheeks at bed time
a passionate embrace
the kiss of the Father in the warm winter sun
or the first warm breeze of spring
I love this, Kylie.
ReplyDelete"the kiss of the Father in the warm winter sun," it's all beautiful.
Nice take on the theme :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT

Wonderful, especially the last lines...and incredible header!
ReplyDeletei'll put my coffee ring on the table...lots of memories in those kisses...even from little rodents..
ReplyDeleteAwww..you're such a good sport with George!
ReplyDeleteWell I have never been that close to a rodent (though we did have pet mice)!
ReplyDeleteI ruefully ponder that maybe furry-animal kisses are all that are left for me!
I like this poem kylie- the way you have strung together different types of kisses; this is lovely.
I'm so dying for the warm kiss of spring! Very cute little erm . .rodent!
ReplyDeleteNice imagery. Love this. -Jayne
ReplyDeleteAll very interesting...
ReplyDelete"the kiss-by-proxy of a shared drink"
ReplyDeleteDelicious.
The whole thing.
My theme would only be slobbery not poetic.

Hi Kylie,
ReplyDeleteYour mouse picture must my be my theme today.
I got to work to be told not to go into the cleaners room as two night staff had chased a mouse into the room and had placed towels,sheets outside the door to stop it escaping.
After waiting sometime for our mainetence man to turn up i was told to go in. I was in and out very quickly. The man turned up but he was adamant the mouse has got out earlier. I said it couldn't have as the door was sealed with towels and sheets. I reckon it is hiding in there and knowing my luck it will be me who will see it there on monday. I also had a girl from an agency in to help me who was indian and said i will pick it up by the tail and put it out for you if i see it. I have had a long week doing 8.5 hours this week starting at 7am. anyway the money will come in handy as this dosen't happen often that i have to cover the other lady while she is on sick leave. It is the first time in the time i have been there they have employed an agency person. They finally realised that they were asking too much of me, but i still had to stay and do the six beds on the other ladys side after going my side of the building. So i ended up with 13 beds each day. The agency girl just cleaned the basins, and vacuum the rooms.Sorry i seemed to have rambled on.
kylie, google image or not, it's a right nice interpretation and works well, here :)
ReplyDeleteKia ora Kylie,
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, you are a poet. Like it or not you have a way with words.
Aroha,
Robb
hi jo,
ReplyDeletethe funny thing about mice is the way they can disappear, utterly vanish!
i hope your mouse disappears, i like our george but a feral running about isnt quite the same....
13 beds a day sounds like A LOT. is there some kind of protocol saying who does what? couldn't the agency girl have done a few beds?
i'm sure you will have loads of plans for the extra money, make sure you spoil yourself a little bit though, theres no point working your butt off for no benefit!
hope you had a great weekend
xx
subtorp,
ReplyDeletetwo visits to one post, wow!
the phoenix is just so typical of my style: the swirling colours and the slightly abstract appearance
cheers
ruahines, kia ora!
ReplyDeletesuch a compliment, thank you :)
it's not so much that i wouldnt want to be a poet, just that i'm not really worthy of the title
have a great week!
