We were in love and on our way to Parnham House to check it over as a venue for our forthcoming production of 'Don Pasquale' with Ruth's opera company, Dorset Chamber Opera. We bought a punnet of strawberries and climbed a prominent hill, with a clump of pine trees on top, just outside Bridport. We called it Six Pine Hill. We didn't know it was called Colmers Hill. It didn't matter. Strawberries on Six Pine Hill They laugh and kiss With strawberry sips, The glistening pink Of their strawberry lips, And kiss and bite the flesh in half With lips and teeth and lips and laugh. And flesh is weak on Six Pine Hill As Spring awakes, and passion's song Lulls the afternoon along. In love, they choose each fruit with care As flesh and fruit and kiss they share. First pubishes in Poetry Now South 1997 (Ed. Andrew Head) © Robert Eshelby 1997 ![]() With love to Caroline and Luke who were married this weekend. x
