THE LILY OF THE FIELD
In America, the 5th of September is Labour Day (or should I say Labor Day?). It is an annual holiday.
THE LILY OF THE FIELD
My poem, A Quadrille of 44 words (not including the title), is about ‘Work’. THE LILY OF THE FIELD, is for Dverse poets and all my friends across the Pond.
THE LILY OF THE FIELD “Some of us work, and some of us shirk. I do neither”. Don’t be silly! I hear you say? “I am a lily of the field by the wood. I toil not, neither do I spin. But I look good Swayin’ in the wind.” Lesley Scoble - September 2022

The flowers have their own reason for being… but most of us do not care as long as they are pretty.
