Just beacause it's Friday and nearly the end of January.
Seeing this image at the Dior Illustrated exhibition instantly made me think of this poem.

Flowers
Some men never think of it.
You did. You'd come along
And say you'd nearly bought me flowers
But something had gone wrong
....
It made me smile and hug you then.
Now I can only smile.
But, look, the flowers you nearly brought
Have lasted all this while.

It was a small exhibiton but it prompted many thoughts.
One of my favourite Wendy Cope poems!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it. It's a poem that grows each time I read it.
ReplyDeleteI love the Dior illustrations! My mother always wore Miss Dior and I always wore (and still do) Diorissimo. I can't help but think how she would have enjoyed that exhibition.
