Some say this flower
Has its own unique place in the flowerbed
As it’s not blue, or violet – and please
Do Not call it Purple – there’s far too much blue in
Each of its petals
Some call it Violet-blue, but gardeners know it as Blue-Violet
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
Sitting in the garden
Playing with a ball
As Mum or dad
Call out – from beyond the hall
Excitement awaits – we’re off to the museums!
Down goes your head – you don’t want to see ’em
Of course, its not like you’re grateful – you’ve been there before
Up with your classmates – till gone half past four
The holidays are for fun – out in the fresh air!
! You’ll be going somewhere sunny soon – but you don’t care! !

A piece of poetry, taken from my repository on Allpoetry.com
The rotten apple of the bunch,
was saved from sentence of th’bin
it was placed inside a plot of soil
and kept warm there and in.
Now Children wondered – would it grow,
with loads of apples there in tow?
Dad he watered plot every day
So apple could try to make its way
And as the apple started to root,
from out of the ground – popped up a shoot
the apple had started its journey to be
a lovely fruitful apple tree
And leaves and branches started to take
as Dad and Children round tree did rake
and then one day – as the sun it did rise
the family had a fruity surprise!
Little Green apples hung from the tree,
occasionally pecked by a bird or a bee
these would grow – and time would fly
and then the apples – would end in a pie!

#Freedomofexpression #Art
A response to the latest challenge from Iscriblrs Freedom of expression series
(and yes – I will be getting arty with his one!)
A pencil and paper – the start of the process
Composing where the individual flowers went
Encapsulating the sandstone sundial at its heart
Transferred to hardened plastic
And painted in translucent paint
The final result ? A stained window without glass –
Exceptional

A tale of two neighbourhood cats – c/o my profile on allpoetry.com
Sat on a grassy spot,
someplace by the house
two brothers sit on the outside porch
dreaming about a mouse
They’re waiting for their mum
to serve up summat for tea
and have been playing in the backyard
rolling in the grass with glee
Prowling through the green grass
as not to be seen or heard
pouncing on patches of lawn
hunting for a bird
Climbing on tables and chairs
in their fur all black and white
pondering what’s their catfood tray
thinking – what’s for tea tonight ?

Spring has definitely sprung
The rock gardens resident birds
Announced it…the acer is in bloom they chirped
Rejoicing at the sight of little pink buds
They don’t look much at the minute but
Eventually, the wind will stop moving the branches and the
Red and pink blossoms will start to appear

I hear the mercury creeping up the kitchen thermometer
but the boiler’s having none of it
steam rising in the cold air from his friend , the kettle
white mist still apparent from outside
while red skies mix with blue as evening falls
and the evergreens move in the breeze
whilst behind a spruce – an acer’s branches sing
“We’ll be waking up soon
Announcing the spring!”
Salford, 9th March 2019
A patch of earth on some barren land
Was turned over, fed and watered
Earth dug up in places on
Seeds or bulbs planted
Over the next few months, the process continued – and
Moments passed – until the arrival of a green leaf popping out of the ground
Expect rainbows of colour over the next few weeks.
