its time
the wind blows
out of the wardrobe
they come off the hangers
ready
to keep you snug and warm
while kicking up leaves
or making things
from snow

#fruit #orange
There are days when apples
or bananas won’t do for a healthy snack
i wan’t something bright
juicy and zesty
cue the orange
for you know when its time
to eat it – simply by the smell
as you peel it the zest
perfumes the air
juice is nice of a morning
and sliced its tasty with a sprinkle of sugar
but it’s appeal to me is when
its simply unwrapped
and each segment releases its flavour
in its own little way

The change in the wind
makes visiting aviators
change their planned out course
for a spot a little warmer
whilst hardier locals
build up their houses
among evergreen spruce and pine

introcate silk threads
hang around the pink rosehips
like a decoration
flying bugs beware
this – the spot where ariadne
keeps her larder stocked
and once you land here
it is hard to fly away
from her sticky threads

passing over the house
seagulls heading for warm spots
as mercury drops
wind whips up the trees
as leaves dance in the bluster
and land on grassy spots
longer nights mean cold
as jack frost dances over
grass lawns , fallen leaves
weathermen make kids
frown with the news delivered
its too cold for snow

#space #alien #life
image by inkdrop created with nightcafe ai
they sent spacemen out
to find places to stay before
Ra sent evictions
robots found a spot
but it was a few years away
light years for a fact
so off the nauts went
looking for a far off spot
to grow trees and whatnot
but with earth far off
messages were clear back home
great grandpa says hi

#CCC055 #Palmtree #Garden
Okay, so they say
autumn is here, the temp fell
and windy ? you bet
but in the garden
reminder of sunny days
and sandy beaches
green changed to slight red
and yellows, and oranges
green? back in spring
thoughts of sunny times
and perhaps festivities
in time for christmas

They sat on the bank
while the water moved around
waiting for dinner
Discussions Arose
on new shore arrivals home
and seeds from far away
dads watch from the bank
as ducklings play in shallows
before tea arrives
parents need not worry
as the kids waddle on shore
leaving prints on sand

#octpowrimo #ghost
as the wind bends trees
and makes leaves travel the ground
who’s moving the stuff
without a sound – it could be a
ghost moving around

You pick the round holes
your long sticks go and balance
the coloured marbles
