Berceuse

I've read quite a few poems today Tina and this one made me the happiest. :-)

Two lovely words here, peignoir and quoins. The poem itself is a lovely meander with many engaging descriptions !

Much enjoyed again, Tina. Actually I'd forgotten the word 'berceuse'. Should have known it from long ago music practices. One query, - are the cows waiting for next morning's milking? or I suppose it's winter time, and already getting dark for the evening milking? (and thank you, I didn't have a soaking on the school hill!) Rhiannon

Lovely picture postcard with an agonising sign-off. Well done Tina.
