Reeds by the Shady Pool, Lilies on the Water

Goldberry, the River woman's daughter was clever as an otter.
Old Tom Bombadil set his mind to catch her,
Along the Withywindle, he thought he was Master.
Dressed in green she sang among rushes,
pretty songs for birds in bushes.
Tom came and caught her,
Or so he thought.
Till he heard
her victorious
laughter.

Thank you, dear!

Wonderful, and so bouncy and lyrical! Very Tom-like and clever.

*grin* I'm so glad you thought it Tom-like. Tom can be hard.

I'm enjoying these. A new take on the old, "A boy chases a girl, until she catches him". :D

[dreamflower]

Exactly! ;-)

How lovely, and fitting for these two!

Oh, but that is clever, and probably all too true! Heh!
