Swiftly flying through the blue
a whole host of feathered friends
lift their wings and soar through the air
for while the humans stay indoors
only the odd cat need be looked out for as they
roll about and enjoy the summer air
dancing around the tree tops and saying hello through the windows

A fly flew round the mulberry bush
the fly himself got bored
he headed for an open window
and through the air he soared
his little wings a flying
he stopped upon something sweet
he landed on the bowl they were in
and decided to enjoy a treat
but then who should come wondering,
as he came out of the cage
with feathers red blue and green
landing by little flies stage
and the bird had our small friend for dinner
as on the orange he munched
so now say goodbye, to our small friend , the fly
who the birdie has just had for lunch

Saturday morning.
Its a couple of days into the government lockdown in the UK for this blooming bug that’s hitting the globe like a whirlwind
and for the stream of conciousness challenge – i’ve been asked whats beside me,
I’m looking down at the table – the book i was reading yesterday is still there, a compilation of work from some fine amateur writers, who entered the great British write off for 2015 – flipping through the index – i find i appear just before half way with a short piece i wrote during a holiday at that time
My watercolour pad is just in reach, doodles and scribbles brought to life in glorious technicolor. For some strange reason, there’s an awful lot of drawings of fish – there is a reason for that folks – i’d been creating my own stencils the night before and one of them was …. lo and behold a fish.
Flipping through the watercolours, there’s a picture of a tree….haven’t come up with a title for it yet – so i’m going to pinch a title for it – “What the kids really wanted”
#Octpowrimo
He’s the height of my thumb
and small as can be
dwarfed by my mug of cocoa or tea
but he’s happy as can be
among the toys and bricks
putting together those coloured ones that stick
and exploration is fun, so he’ll spend his time
climbing that mug, mentioned in this rhyme

Tentative
by Brian F Kirkham
little puss woken by mother,
now wants to walk outside
bright lights ahead
he wants to explore
so his little paws touch
the living room floor
#Coloryourworld #Cyw #Orchid #flowers #Acrostic
Over most of the globe, this
Right royal plant with its majesty of blooms
Can be found spreading colour indoors or outdoors alike
Happy in a pot indoors or outdoors
In the expanse of the garden, its
Delicate flowers bring a smile on special days
