  • Quick questions with a quill

    #socs #quill

    Quest should you accept it

    Quickly take in the items on the

    Quartz covered table

    Quilling down the objects before the ducks go

    Quack!

  • The Imposter

    King of his own backyard

    furry cat was flustered

    to find another feline

    feasting at his feeding spot

    funny thing was

    from looking at each other, nose to nose

    it was like looking in the mirror

    the only difference

    the foibles how they approached their bowl

    pauper would eat anything – princes fish had to be wrapped

  • summer evenings

    under a big leafy oak tree

    means picnics for all

    out of the trees,

    fallen acorns and chestnuts

    is the start of the feast

    toast and honey follows as do

    strawberries and blackberries

    pieces of cake

    and fruit are also on show

    raspberry jam in both

    the sandwiches and doughnuts

    sensational!

  • #sparrows #summer #nature

    since spring, these

    popular aviators have made

    an appearance up and down the

    road, hunting out the tastiest of treats

    returning at night to their tree top nests

    of course, being summer, they’ll dive into

    watery spots to keep cool

  • Evicted

    #WDYS

    It must be cold at

    the top of the earth – the sea

    is throwing out ice cubes

    to order, and polar bears pick out

    the best ones when warm

  • The Junior Gnome
    The current image has no alternative text. The file name is: back-to-school-gnome.png

    While lessons are over

    for fun in the sun

    the youngest gnomes homework

    has just begun

    Watering the flowers

    and pruning the trees

    seeking out the dandelions

    on both of his knees

    His task it is simple

    with rewards to suit

    producing four kinds

    of a tasty fruit

    and there’s one for each teacher

    for each terms class

    of different colour

    thats fallen on grass

  • Pierce

    #fowc #pierce

    Peeling a juicy orange

    is a dangerous thing to perform

    especially if its a really ripe one, for as you

    rip into the zesty skin, don’t be surprised as it

    comes back at you, with accuracy

    expect a shot of zest right back at you

  • farfalle

    flow of a tasty

    tomato sauce covers the

    pasta bows in bowl

    sauce aims coverage

    of every piece of pasta

    in sight of sous chef

    clinging to pasta

    as well as knives forks and spoons

    enjoyable ? of course

  • A chip off the old block

    #socs #chip

    coming direct from the main block

    hacked and then dropped to the cookie mix

    out of nowhere they appear

    cute chocolate chunks surrounded by cookie dough

    chances are you may find more

    held in the middle of your biscuits

    it’s just a matter of where they landed

    prior to entering the oven

  • Reasons for Liking Pacman

    What’s your favorite game (card, board, video, etc.)? Why?

    perhaps it was because i’d been playing him for

    a very long time, on hand held pocket games

    chomping the dots around the maze and

    making the ghosts turn blue upon

    a dose of power pills

    new versions released….but i’d always go back to the original
