Born out of a tree
A yellow skinned treat
Nice between two slices of bread
Also appreciated by young uns in a cake of some sort
Note though whether in a cake or not – they’re great with custard
A note of caution – don’t eat the peel – they’re not like apples

To humans living
by the rainforest – a treasure
for market to sell
Inhabitants there
think differently under leaves
a place they call home
Tree frogs and reptiles
Live up in the leafy mass
looking for a meal
Birds rest their small claws
before flying into blue
heading for tiddlers
As the sun popped down
below the water, the seagulls wondered why
the waters they were playing in – had a new colour applied
see while the waters were azure blue – it was easy for them to fish
the water turned to orangeade, the marine life had their wish
so instead of getting soaking wet
they let the fishes turn loose
waiting for the morning tide
when the waters weren’t orange juice
#CYW #Skyblue
Earth showing off its best side
when this colour is seen above
you just know its going to be a great day
occasionally, the odd marshmallow
can be seen racing one another
you needn’t worry – its a blue sky day

Some said her entrance to the office was outstanding
Her manager definitely strayed an eye, as
Orange tones of the junior redhead
Changed overnight to something a little more brighter
Keen eyed males – made more visits to the typing pool
In an effort to woo her, but
Note – the new hairstyle was only for a short while
Going back to normal after the girls night out
#cyw #shamrock
Something makes me smile when i see it
hopping out of the ground
and providing a green border for the
many other plants out in the gardens, parks and forests
related to the pea plant – its known for its three leaves
often seen on St patricks day – it’s a proud irish emblem
clover – its cousin looks on in envy – for while they say its lucky picking four leaves, they’ll
keep on wearing the three leaves of the forest.

Perhaps the imps were out last night
up where the slate rocks lie
reactions to the sun falling on the hills
people are pleased with what they see on the eye
lilacs , lavenders and amethyst shades – all those and much more
everyone visiting loves the scene – so off they do explore
Just look at it
a taste sensation
zesty and fruity fruit
zipped up in a sweet pastry pillow
best eaten after tea – but can be
eaten, scoffed or wolfed down at any time of day
rich red fruit at its centre
really nice with a warm cup of tea
yet you can also have it for a dessert!

playing around with his feathers
Balanced on one leg
Waiting for that moment
When the keeper comes in
And throws another shovel
Of fresh Morecambe shrimp
Into the water
#CYW #Periwinkle
Dancing around in the lightest of breezes
bringing a spot of colour to parks and gardens
before the frost comes in
the ground you sit in determines your colour
sometimes you’re pink, sometimes you’re purple
but most of the time you’re as blue as the sky above you
and you shore up your fellow flowers
the daffodils and tulips keeping them standing tall
while the breeze of the wind goes through the park
