The Inkwell
Something to brighten up the borders
of your garden as the leaves on the trees start to
roll around in the autumn wind
the gardeners call it pink, the flower buffs call it purple
of course, while it’s still in
flower – nobody minds what shade it is – it still looks lovely by the lawn

Hiding away among the green grasses
Colourful stems brighten up the water
Small scented buds send fragrance
Travelling briskly on a western breeze
A Delightful smell greets the nose

The bird’s seem to have got the message
The mercury is in retreat
A nip in the air – you’re feeling
As you’re heading down the street
Clouds of grey are gathering
waiting for their time
to sprinkle their raindrops down on the ground
blocking out the sunshine
And while cold air for autumn
seems to be the norm
our feathered friends have headed off
someplace tropical and warm
Don’t Fret though – as soon as the sunshine burns
those feathered friends, who flew off will return
land with little uns – who will have grew
onto a patch of green grass nearby you

Over time the orchid plant
Releases the colour hidden away in its stems
Crafting flowers of such beauty, you would have thought
Heaven’s angels had crafted each one
It takes time to grow an orchid with such colour and beauty, but its
Definately worth every second waited
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
