It's come to something when I'm writing a post for this blog before I've even had a cup of tea!
I suppose writing must be as normal to me as having bad eyesight and a gap in my front teeth, and you know what, it doesn't matter to me any more whether I get published or not. I have a talent, but maybe I'm not the right person to say that, but I've been told I can write ever since I was a little girl holding a half eaten pencil. I've accepted the fact that I'm happy to blog, email, scribble poems and paragraphs without the need for stardom or even recognition, having an imagination is a great gift and being able to express that imagination in ink is a joy to me.
Today's Love Quote is by one of my favourite poets, Robert Herrick. When I first came across his poem, 'Sweet Disorder' I was immediately smitten. If you click on his name it'll take you to one of my fav websites and you'll be able to read more of Robert's quotes. That sounds funny saying that, 'more of Robert's quotes' it's like he's still alive and writing. I'm sure he'd love it if he knew his poems were not only being read in books but now he's even been mentioned in a blog post by a cook-cum-poet called Gloria!


A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly
A winning wave, deserving note
In the tempestuous petticoat
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility
Do more bewitch me, than when art
Is too precise in every part.

Robert Herrick 1591-1674
