Album 6 – Diana on the Berkshire Do

I read this a few times without any understanding until I thought a bit about the title and then things began to click. (Using "do" like that threw me. Sometimes I'm a little slow.) It took a conscious effort to say "hurly-burly blur of curls" without making a mispronunciation. I like that! Some wonderful imagery here. Very good poem!

Oh, I see...

Love the imagery of the photo made into a poem. The alliteration is fun and playful with "hurly-burly" and other word choices such as dog's tongue, really bring the poem to life. Great poem Tess!

"Do" should read "Downs" as in the rolling chalk hills in Berkshire GB.

Well .... gee ....uh....don't I feel like a dummy! Good poems are generally open to interpretation. I did think the title was a bit odd but I twisted my brain around a bit to make it fit. Now it doesn't! Oh well. It is a good poem, that I am sure of! I don't quite get the meaning but that is probably because I'm just a vulgar American who doesn't get some British nuances. I've been told by some British friends that Americans are crass. I guess this proves it or at least lends support to the theory. Maybe I'm a bit knackered or stroppy or something like that.

Lovely

Very evocative - wish I were there on the downs. Thanks!
