| from the corkboard backstage @ midsummer night's dream |
to leave a small note
when leaving
& so lonely
in the morning
when you do
i can picture you
sitting at the desk, skirt
hugging your legs
(forgive me
if i linger)
coffee cup
full & open-
ing your computer
with thoughts
of work, only to find
my amorous scribble,
smiling
& if you place it
on the wall to admire
throughout the day
getting little done
because it, then you might,
even just a little
understand how often
you traipse barefoot
through the dew damp grass
of my mind.
The title is from MidSummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

...you traipse barefoot
through the dew damp grass
of my mind...
Such a romantic , beautifully worded.
Happy Monday Brian
I can't believe I'm first :-)
Gasp! I'm first! My guy leaves me little smiley faces now and then, which do their work: I smile. :-)
through the dew damp
grass of my mind.
An amorous note will certainly make its presence felt. It'll linger on in one's mind! Nicely Brian!
Hank
what a beautiful love poem!
Anything to avoid work
Is surely a perk
Hopefully no cells were damaged from the walk
That might ruin your gawk haha
Oh what the little things can do
When they come into your view
THE NEW NO.1. Loved this, Brian. Who could concentrate on work with little notes like that... sigh!
Who wouldn't treasure such a corkboard note, and who wouldn't smile every time they'd look up to see it, and know they were the object of that affection.
So very sweet.
Thanks for the Shaxpere (SIC) reference :) I did not recognize it.
Sweet, poignant, full of longing.
I'm gonna make the spousal unit read THIS one.
Well done Brian. What a wonderful poem - a true love poem
So romantic...:-)
A little love note serves to brighten the day. And this poem brightened mine. It's always good to nurture marriage with little surprises. Makes thing interesting.
how beautiful!!!
Super nice love note ideas. Beautiful. People like you help others see marriage in a good light.
Funny, I don't really care about who wrote the title (HAHAHA!).
This piece is by:
Bryan Shakespeare Milliere, and I LOVE it!!!!!!!
If I was some girl booting her computer this morning at Liberty University, I would ADORE it! (And I know she does--grin!)
Love, PEACE, and JOY, Brian!

love notes can make your day :)
Happy Monday Miller :)
The last verse says it all.
Well done Brian :) just lovely!
awww...this is beautiful...traipsing barefoot
through the dew damp grass of my mind...a little love note makes such a big difference and i bet she can't concentrate on her work any more..smiles
Great piece Brian..nicely done! Little love notes....one waay to keep you in her heart and mind.
:) Cute. My dh does stuff like that all the time. Well, all right, I'll admit I've done it a time or two too.
Agree with faraway. That ending is beautiful. Many thanks. Loved that piece.
Greetings from London.
O.K., this was freakin' lovely.
Brian-just wanted to thank you for the supportive comment on my blog. Appreciate it so much! And I realized how long its been since I've visited. I forgot how much I enjoy reading your work. I'm going to have to say that this is one of my favorites. That last stanza is perfection.
Hope all is well.
i love it... i am a person of little note. i find it sweet and romantic...

dazzling
Brian I really like this one!
BriaN, YOU ROMANTIC YOU!
Hi lovely thoughts. It is those small details of life - too often stomped on by our need to do the "important" things- that make life truly worth it and connect us to each other.
"" getting little done
because ( ) it, then you might,""
to be a stickler, did you need to add an "of" between 'because and it' in your poem or did I read it wrong.
Enjoyed
Oh, how you make me melt. AND how did you know that I did hang it on my wall this morning so I could look at it and smile and melt some more. ;) Love you....
I want love notes left for me! So sweet!
The last four lines are beyond perfect!
Lovely, lovely poem!
lovely! found myself smiling multiple times..."(forgive me if i linger)"--plus a sigh or two..."you traipse barefoot through the dew damp grass of my mind."
Oh, to be thought of that way for just a day...To know that someone's "got" it...lovely..
Sigh. Love this. :)
I haven't received a little love note in years....maybe a decade.
You keep doing that...forever.
oh how beautifully romantic.. but real, clearly real...LOVE this Brian!
Brian, that was delightful!! The way that you are speaking, the thought of not being able to work-and the ending was fabulous! Loved this (and I'm sure your wife did too ;-)
Awww... how could anyone not be moved or fail to smile every time they see that. The pic is such a cute one, but the thoughts behind it are just sooooo...*Sigh* Lucky both of you :)
Lovely poem.
Ha! Very cute. I love that scene in Midsummer's Night Dream already - this is very charming. The lingering by the skirt especially cute. (I'm not imagining the spaniel here.) (Ha!)
k.
lovely poem. now get back to work.
just joking.
Sweetness in a poem. You hit just the right notes here, Brian. Not too much or too little of any emotion. Just lovely, as always :)
Love it!
Hi! Brian...
Once again, tks, for sharing the image that compliment your very descriptive, poetic words...
"getting little done
because it, then you might,
even just a little
understand how often
you traipse barefoot
through the dew damp grass
of my mind."
...on a Monday.
[Once again, a moment...shared]
deedee :)
Oh my goodness, such sweetness!
You write some neat love stuff, my friend--I can see why you say it's a favorite topic of yours. This is simple and sweet and full of warmth.
Is this not divinely wonderful? I LOVE IT. My smile nearly cracked my face.
Oh, this is sweeeeeet, Brian. It is little notes, the small touches, that mean so VERY much. But on the other hand '& so lonely when you do' I understand as well, as it is those little notes that make you want that person with you....right then! What a romantic. Love it.
How simple yet divine ~ I like the amorous scribble and traipse barefoot through the dew damp grass ~
Happy Monday Brian ~
ah, this is nice! nice flow, nice breaks, great sound. yeah, i bet your wife loved this.
Ah - so romantic and lovely!
How adorable! I want a guy like that. :)
Pretty love letter of a love letter and of the surprise of endless dew damp grass on the brain!
Very nice flow and musicality to this and, of course, lovely thoughts. Lucky lady. ;)
I love how you love her and have the words to say so.
excellent love poem Brian. Love the use of the quote as well, great metaphor there. Little notes, I remember how embarrassed I used to get in grammar school, my mother would put these little notes in the lunchbox and instead of appreciating them for what they were at the time, I used to get embarrassed. Now granted I was little back then, and it was my mom, but kind of wish I had appreciated, saved those little notes. I actually tried this a bit when I lived on campus, and would leave little notes on this girl I was dating's door, but she never said anything about them and I wasn't going to go and say hey you get the note, so who knows if they were appreciated or not. But in any case, it's a great gesture, and extension of love. Great piece.
So lovely and romantic!
Brian you make me a little less jaded. :)
Superb as always. Tugs and smiles all rolled into one. Lovely.
NEVER stop leaving the notes. NEVER....it will never back fire ever.
Sweet!
So nice to leave those notes. I like giving and getting them.
Aw. I love knowing my husband is thinking of me, though he is not quite so adept as you are in sharing that fact.
Still, he manages to get the message across...
;)
Aw, that's sweet.
very romantic, Brian! LOVE it!
So tender and sweet.. what a lovely treat to find one of those notes.

forgot to say love the last phrase!
I love the distracted beauty of this, Brian. Life needs to be run by love and not by production. Thank you for the reminder of what's important and beautiful, my friend. =D
Sweet, sweet, oh so sweet! I loved the bit about the barefoot traipsing through the dewy grass of your mind...perfectly executed image there.
