The man with Hobbits feet

  I feel protected and safeEnfolded in your armsHere nothing touches meI can come to no harm I reflect on the reasonYou have become so close to meThe speed and danger of ‘us’So opaque to see Worlds apart in our upbringingMine calm and subduedYours, fights, knives and gang warfareWrong and right sometimes confused Hard life and hard loveGave you no restBut bore two lovely childrenOf all treasures they are your best So why the need to touchThe man with Hobbits feetWhen I could be champagning with the elite? His heart and soul is woundedMy hands the salve I seeBut by opening my heart to hisIt is also a healing for me

Fabulous

This poem is really wonderful, and reminds me of when i went to a very loud wedding and all the girls took their shoes off to dance after the evening was done we all joked about having feet like a hobbit! black swollen and ugly! Much love. shirley harrison

My goodness girls

I just love Hobbits feet ...tiny but wide,cute little hairy tufts on the toes....girls did you not know you can judge a man pretty accurately by his feet What kind of Hobbits have you met... Hobbits have beautiful feet Small but wide Flat and firm Tiny tufts of hair on the toes And one hobbit I know has a longer second toe than big toe...in toe talk this means they are masterful...Trust me it's true! You can tell a lot by the feet and I have to be completely outraged ( ha ha) by the insinuation that hobbits have Ugly feet Seabhac

'fraid you sussed me here Judy

Birds with broken wings, stray cats, dogs even once took in 23 cashmere rabbits...there were many more before I eventually found homes for them... apostrophe in Hobbit’s , it should be but somehow it seemed wrong to put a great big inky splodge between his toes so left it without ...o.k maybe I'll need to change it or is that just the tadpoles getting loose again!!! Shh don't tell anyone I have a soft spot for small creatures!!! Seabhac

I love it Liz

I've got a different view on Hobbits now...I always thought they were cute, in an ugly/nice kind of way...now I picture them quite romantically…oddly!!! Rosina xena465
