Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
#CYW #Aquamarine
They say its the true colour of water
but by the time you’ve had your cordial added
the fruit has fizzled it away
It sets of a summer holiday perfectly
as the sun reflects its blue
and you wan’t to dip your toes
on perfect days, the sky mirrors the sea
and its like the sea begins where the sky ends
wonderful to look at from a deckchair
of course, the jeweller likes this colour
its the birthstone thats usually surrounded by diamonds
so its no wonder he likes it
or the colour of the eyes of the young lady
whos entered his shop
to purchase a ring with this precious stone

He landed last night
having visited someplace sunny
having spotted the green and blues and pinks
he decided to stay around for a while
The locals were friendly
advising on spots over the fence
where for a little bit of effort
you could get a really good feed
You could find a spa up and down the road
bird baths a plenty in this town
and lots of alternate accommodation
if the lodgings were too tight
With new friends met, and food in mounds
our friend’s decided to stick around
and the others think he’s not a guest
he’s family – living in his own new nest….

Some say “take it easy”
even if the sunshine is full in the sky
destination sun lounger is the place to be
after all, you’re not working for a week or two
time to enjoy the sunshine
elongated on your own sunlounger

Stood on the shore in their finest attire
Mum dad and little un
All leaving a trail on the sand
Looking out for the funny coloured seashells
Likelyhood is they’ll find you first
Crab like creatures
red, black or white
enter the range of view
as they pop up to say hello
taking a step left and sometimes right
until at last they
reach the waters edge
expect them to take a
sly nip of your wellies as they pass you
#CYW #Sunglow
Some say its the colour of the sun,
under the summer sunshade as it
nips down toward the horizon – heading to a
great mass of sand on the other side of the earth –
longing to see it again – the sunworshippers
often seen watching dipping down past the waterline
where it gives a few last rays of light before the moon arrives
There’s a definite change in the air
although he’s there – you don’t see the sun as much
longer nights, shorter days
expect the palette on the trees to change
on the whole – there’s signs that winter is on her way
frosty mornings covering fallen autumn leaves
a mass of crispy leaves amass
under the trees that once held them
to the wildlife its a sign to check the supplies and get
under the covers till the arrival of spring
munching on supplies before drifting off to sleep
night owls staying by their nests

#Weather #Seasons #Summer #Acrostic
Summer sees me ignore the cirrus and and stratus
Taking in the rays peering through summers marshmallows
Reality is – something’s been smiling floating in the air
A smiling cloud, happy in the blue
Tears ? not today…and when Ra gets a little bit to fierce
A fluffy cloud and his chums are there to provide a bit of cover
#freedomofexpression #iscriblr #countdown #creativity #beach
Soon it will be summer,
Under the shade we will be
Making sandcastles on the shore
Moments away from the sea
Expect a visit from a fish or two
Reacting as you dip your toes in the waters
the mercury rose again today
over at the campsite….they don’t need a match
just a circle of stones baking in the mid morning sun
plonking the pan on top and waiting
waiting for the small drop of oil
to start sizzling.
