A hiker walks along a mountain trail surrounded by dense forest and distant snow-capped peaks. #poetry #forest #evergreen #tree #character #napowrimo
I am rising up
high into the blue above
a tree for all days
Grouping together
as we head for the blue sky
hikers first cover
No fear of my leaves
descending down to the floor
they stay with me
and the wildlife all
appreciate the free stay
on my many arms

#napowrimo #garden #spring #tree #sapling
A young tree recently planted in a well-maintained garden bed Stretching out into the blue sky
anchored in nutrient rich soil
positioning itself to pick up those
lovely warm rays from the sun
in a race with the other trees
navigating to become
great decorators of the garden

#sparrows #napowrimo #rooftops
A group of sparrows gather on sunlit terracotta roof tiles overlooking a rural village. Sat on their favourite rooftop
positioned in their perfect vantage point
as the farmer heads out with the grain
rips in the bag, guarantee a free feast and they
rise in the air, prior to a measured drop
on the mounds of wheat and barley
while mr farmer ponders on half measures
sat on the field

A cluster of raspberries ripening on a leafy branch in a vibrant garden the birds are smiling
as spring has sprung finally

exploding colours

with tasty berries

#napowrimo #poetryresponse #food #tea #custardcreams
a response to the john cooper clarke poem – i travel in biscuits
A plate of custard cream biscuits served alongside a cup of tea and a jug of milk As moon descends
towards the horizon
and the sun shows its face
i create something
you’ll eat before lunch
tasty squares filled
with the yummiest things
and holding firm from the heat
the kettle will bring
sweetness with a bit of a bite
small somethings to see through to
dinnertime at night

#napowrimo #daybreak #morning
Sunrise over a charming medieval village by a river in a lush valley The Sun begins to move
Birds on the rooftops announce
a new day with chirps
cars travel softly
over the patchwork road surface
off to places new
lights illuminate
while darkness lifts, and kids pack
bags for the school bus
First meal of the day
Important to cat, bird, bean
fuel till lunchtime

#Napowrimo #MFFFC #Water #Sea #Whales #Mum #Child
Exploring the waters
can be challenging when you
are a young un
Knowing the dangers
hidden in the blue ocean
takes time to master
So, till that time comes
little whales stay close to Mum
while splashing about

#napowrimo #ocean #sea #fish #octopus
Waves crash against rocky shores at sunset, creating a dynamic seascape. On rocky coastal edges, it often says hello
crustaceans , seahorses and bigger fish call it home
even dolphins and whales like creating
an almighty splash
next thing you know, they’re hiding from the nets
