The Inkwell
Mountaineer came
out of his wintry cave, the summit conquered
up on the top of the hill, had been nothing but snow, but
now those seeds sleeping under the snow had
torn through the safety of the soil
and provided a lovely view for the climber to see
in time, he’d enjoy the fruits of his triumph, but for
now he was enjoying – his first sight of spring

Maybe, you would call it purple – but there’s definitely
a shade or two of pink hiding in this colour
unless you were looking at it really close up –
very few would succeed to match it up
except of course the guys or girls at the wallpaper warehouse – who
like mixing up the reds blues and yellows
of course you spot its pinkish hues up by fellow plants
up in the garden
shades of pink popping up the yellows, purples and blues

Family sit on the bank,
they’ve been doing this for years
keeping an eye out for their neighbours
providing cover from the atlantic wind
for the plants, and sometimes an animal or bird
and giving shade to the pretties in pink
their reward for this task
watching the breakers
coming in to the shore

A Spot
by the big trees became vacant recently,
considering the weather, i cleared the space and
dropped some the seed into a channel….no
expectations – i just need to water them during the day
flowers ? they’ll all be different and some you might
go and consider them as weeds in another garden – i just
hope they grow in the hard trowelled soil they’ve been buried in and
in turn, the birds find the bugs and not the seeds!

Petals
of perfection
taken and mixed up creating
perfume
of
unforgettable nature
releasing fragrances of
roses and begonias and lillies
in the front room
#writephoto #bluebells
Brushing against the flowers in the carpet of blue
listen out for the chimes as you walk
usually, you wouldn’t hear them
except – on this occasion – there’s only the
birch trees – and they’re not saying much
even the squirrels are being quiet –
listening to the noise of the bluebells as they
lightly sway in the
spring breeze

Its not what you’d call a subtle colour
and it couldn’t be called pink or purple
a fiery marriage where red meets blue
but mother nature seems to like
using their off spring to bring a bit
of eye catching colour to the garden
look around you’ll see it every where else too
in signs, on walls and in windows
the future’s bright – the future’s …. Magenta
#CYW #Fuschia
Floating in the warmth of summer
under their pink ballerina dresses – purple petticoats
swaying in the gentle breeze
colour to brighten up anyone’s day
hard to miss – even though they try to be
incognito
a wonder for visiting birds and bees

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
