  • Blue Skies
    Daily writing prompt
    What is your favorite type of weather?

    There is something of

    clear blue sky on summers days

    brings smiles to small faces

    Opportunities

    to play fun games in the park

    or enjoy picnics

    small breezes produce

    a wonderful chance for kids

    to enjoy kite flying

  • broken

    #mlmm #broken

    they say you cannot

    Make an omelette without the

    breaking of the eggs

    but if the frying pan breaks

    it needs a new one

  • The Deal

    #Simply6Minutes

    pirate of the seas

    did a deal with men in green

    sailing to a map spot

    other pirates had yet seen

    upon landing his crew

    dug at the spot

    and all they smiled and cheered

    dancing on the deck of their boat

    till the sun it reappeared

    but alas – the hold it was empty

    no beams of gold were shone

    for by the light of the sun and the moon

    the leprechauns and their gold – were gone

  • Empire

    It starts off simply enough

    a place to rest your head

    a spot to draw water from deep underground

    and a spot to grow food on

    Wood from the forest

    make shelters

    and stones from the hills

    make walls

    shiny stuff down in the ground

    used for bangles or beads

    also used for

    buying stuff

    Roads connect you

    with nearby neighbours

    who bring new things

    and you sell them

    And as some become friends

    others covet your things

    so metal and wood

    combine for defence

  • #WDYS

    Out among the grown trees

    Mother Nature sent Notice

    to every winged

    birdie to come back to the greens

    rejoice ! Spring is here

  • shamrock

    symbol of Ireland

    found growing on the moorland

    sharing heathers space

    sign of good luck with four leaves

    turns the land bright green

  • Miss medusa

    little miss medusa

    in an Irish zoo

    zipped around quite anxious in

    a bit of a todo

    realing from the open news there were no snakes or cousins

    disappointing those living as her hair, of which there were more than a dozen

    instead inside the reptile house

    they played a little game

    to find the coloured lizards

    and put the keepers to shame

  • heft

    #fowc #heft

    it was a bit bulky

    and got heavier as

    you travelled towards

    the vast car park

    but the weight you carried

    was lightened by the smile

    of your daughter

    happy with the addition

    to her bedroom zoo

  • blueprint

    #model #craft #design

    plans brought together

    in a stage by stage form

    showing how each part

    of the pre cut wooden board

    comes together to make

    the working model

    The ground below

    enjoyed the suns warm raybeams

    but would really

    enjoy the cloud in the blue sky

    dropping the wet stuff
