Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
At the top of the hill
you would have thought
the wind and the rain
would have aided the bales
into the nearby hedge
but bundled as they are
the bales are secure
in the knowledge that
until required
they’ll be sticking around
for a bit

Out in the farmers field
while the pumpkins slept
out in the field
something crept
leaving a trail of
debris in their way
stopping the chance
of hallows eve play
a question they ask
a simple why?
do people persist with the lanterns ?
they like pumpkin pie….
For its not just trick or treaters
on halloween night
who are frightened away
by the lantern light.
They want to have fun
They just want to play
so to Mr Jack-o-lantern
Please go away!

I
expectation….
its building in the streets
wondering if
Maybe – Just maybe
the men and the ministry
will tell us we can go back to normal
II
Grandkids
calling their nannas and grandads
plans being formulated
over an i-pad screen
rendezvous to see them
and share a hug
III
The athletes preparing
to jet off in search for gold
times and distances to be broken
records to be re-written
under the umbrella of prevention
will search be fruitful – here’s hoping
IV
Final preparations draw near
to the victor – comes the shiny trophy
Two nations, expect
The weight of expectation – balanced
Till the referee blows his whistle

A paperswans picture prompt for napowrimo
perplexed people pondered
what point the gate
when the sheep were enjoying
every square bit of green beyond the stone wall
was it to keep the sheep out
or was it to keep the humans in ?

She waits in the pen with great trepidation
her aunties waiting for her cousins to arrive
expectations a plenty, for lots of young uns to
engage with, keeping close to mum at the mo but
playing with them all in the pasture, when the time is right

Take a look.
If you were distracted by the yellow tulips
Massed on the carpet of green
Everyone knows – you would have missed it
Look again – it’s there sitting on the
Edge of the vast expanse of water
Some might say its daft masquerading as a molehill – but
Silliness is a cheap price to pay for Solitude
#Promptuarium #Aliens #farm
Mr and Mrs Giles
were bemused to say the least
when their arable field became home
to an enormous beast
Two visitors from mars
knocked on their door
and sheepishly sent
their eyes to the floor
“we’re sorry we landed, in your field Mr Giles
but there wasn’t a place for Daisy for miles
Our cow she’s quite big with eighteen legs
And she wanted a spot to lay her eggs”
So the farmer he went with his alien friends
and saw poor old daisy sat on her end
around her , and dotted around her legs
very large sized, massive, brown and white eggs
“There’s enough in this egg for one thousand teas”
and the aliens said they could have as much as they pleased
so long as the rest, could be picked up and stored
they could use that egg as a thank you reward
So the daisy slept in a barn for the night
and the aliens and the farmer , to avoid others fright
fixed up the spaceship – while everyone was asleep
even the prize ram who would gambol and leap
just before daybreak, in the air they would fly
towards their home in the far off sky
and farmer giles was more happy than pleased
as he started to sell cakes, buns and teas

Another poem from yours truly using the Salt & Pepper Fonts
No denying the dish of the day
every rabbit around has been after
one since the man in the spaceship planted
nine hundred and ninety nine
Colourful seeds in the abandoned field
a whole host of wildlife had a share from
radishes to lettuce – with their extra special glow
rabbits enjoyed the carrots
of course – now they’ve eaten the alien crops
they’re easy to see – just not that easy to catch!
