#CYW #Carnation-Pink
Popping up around the spring
its the kind of flower that likes a party
noted for its use as a buttonhole flower
keeping up appearances at family occasions
Curves more wiggly than your
average rose
rows upon rows keep each other standing up,
not falling over
at the nearest breath of wind.
they don’t look much, but once trimmed and located
in a gentleman’s suit buttonhole
on a family occasion, they
never fail to impress the guests

They dug down deep to find this rock
The shade of the Caribbean sea
Look carefully and you might find a wave or two
Captured in the smooth cut surface
that your breakfast has been served on.

Could it be said, this bird is
as bright as the morning sun ?
noted for its bright yellow plumage
and as chirpy in the afternoon as he is in the morning
rise and shine folks, the morning is here! the little
yellow bird sings out.

#CYW #BurntSienna
I recall a leather chair
the smell of it as I sat in it in the morning
it’s sound as I got my back into its folds
it squeaked – like a mouse looking for food
Looking out beyond the glass
in a warm seat
looking out for snowmen
beyond the garden fence
Sitting there quietly
watching the snowflakes
fall to the ground
whilst warming my hands on a hot mug

Bringing an aire of nature to the painters palette
Red mixes with yellow and that colour goes darker as
Orange meets black and blue
Wild Animals have this colour in their fur , feathers and quills
Notably the geese who fly across town

I remember those streets,
the houses and walls
constructed from something
from down in the ground
Fired earth formed into an oblong
and fashioned into spaces
places, to cook, wash, read, and rest
for those living there – the best
And they were Not all uniform –
not all the same shade
some hidden round airbricks
the ones that just made grade
But from down the road
Their colours stood proud
as this orange / brick red
sang through northern streets loud

Tuesday 6th August 2019
By the time we reached the Island
lagoons – of blue green came into view
under these waters – fish and turtles
enjoying a paddle in the waters
glassy waters lapping up against the shore
resting in crevices of resident rocks
each one giving a home to
eager young hermit crabs…moving there
next to the sea, but away from the tide
Another scribble for the coloryourworld month by inky.

Birds follow the noise of these colourful flowers
Lightly swaying in the spring breeze
Under the cover of a spruce they’re spread
Enjoying the protection from the passing showers
Beautiful colours to please the eye
Encompassing the area around the tree roots
Launching into a dance routine – upon arrival of the Bees and Butterflies
Landing on the flowers to collect the nectar
#Blue #Coloryourworld #CYW
Sky and Sea colour
and perfect sunny mornings
a sign – weather fine
Patchwork of bright blues
at the beaches edge mix
waves big and small crash
can be happy , angry or sad
downright zany or even mad
the sight of blue flowers ? makes some glad

#coloryourworld #cyw #black
Born out of light and Fire , the first colour
Left on a wall to make its mark
A simple drawing in a cave – not on paper, that would come later
crafting a tale – telling the news
Keeping the locals informed – news of the hunt
