#CYW #Gold
There’s nothing better than a summer sky
warm coloured tones of
corn or wheat growing in the farmers field
or maybe the thought
of sinking your toes into warm golden sands
before dipping them in the sea
breakfast dinner or tea – wonderous eggs
dipped with bread soldiers
for an afternoon feast
#Cyw #Fuzzywuzzybrown
Sat by his cave , somewhere in the zoo
a relative of your old pal – winnie the pooh
climbing his branches , carefully placed
and giving his luncheon a bit of a taste
looks out at the crowd like it’s a TV
and then he goes off – in search of honey
#CYW #ForestGreen
For years you’ve seen this glorious colour
out in the wilds beyond your door
rolling hills and valleys
encapsulated in it by
swathes of green grass and
trees as far as the view will take it
Grown from a simple cutting
reaching up high to the nearest cloud
everyone enjoys walking among them
each looking about to see which animal enjoys the
nuts and berries grown from the branches
#coloryourworld #CYW #Fern
An acrostic for the Fern Colour on Tourmalines Coloryourworld challenge
Flowing fronds of green
each one coming from a central point
reminding me of an octopus or squid –
not squelchy, but just as many arms!
Elevated in its Coloured
Leaves brighter than your oaks , ashes or sycamore
Emitted Luminescence – it would probably light up in the dark
Creating a lovely neon effect
To some insects – its a dream plant – saying “come and eat me”
Reality – the glow tells them to stay away
In case the leaves make them ill – only the bravest
Caterpillar dares to have a chomp

Everyone our way knows it as an aubergine
grilled and served up with
grated cheese and tomato
purple tinge to its black skin – never known once grilled
leaping to life in any greek dish
and lipsmackingly wonderful on a summers day
note though – best served with oil and herbs
tastes wonderful with a drop of house red
#Cyw #DesertSand
people did not know
where it travelled quickly from
coming in darkness
Mighty chariots
Once painted by the frost
Now covered in sand
Roadsweepers Smile at
Opportunity to build
Coins in the piggybank
While down on the shore
the dunes off the north coast
grew taller a bit
#fowc #cyw #coloryourworld #denim
Definitely the workman’s favourite trouser
Everyone knows – each pair is
Not to be sniffed at – cut and crafted
In a style , everyone seems to love
Movement to suit the wearer – mostly hugging

#Denim #CYW
Definitely the toughest of blues
Everyone has a pair of these hardwearing trousers
Noticeable by the Metallic buttons and press studs holding the pockets in place
It’s not surprising these workers trousers have become a fashion piece
Maybe its because they last longer than their tailor cut cousins
Down in the family garden
a roaring yellow flower lives in the borders
next to the hyacinths, roses, and tulips
Don’t think this is your standard “Weed”
each one of these has their own shape and colour
liked when the mane disappears and the seed heads transform
into something more light and fluffy
on the right days these travel through the air – when
new yellow flowers begin to grow.
