Digital Telly was never supposed to be like this
with the computer looking after the signal
it was supposed to be clearer and sharper
with up to the minute relayed information
on your big screen TV
They never saw your aerial being used as a perching post…..

A Sign that winters on the way
Up in the trees, the leaves colours are changing
There hangin’ on to their branches for dear life but
Unless you haven’t noticed – greens have been swapped for
Mostly Reds and Browns, with yellows inbetween
Note though – occasional splashes of crimson – Christmas coming early ?

Losing your mind
as you travel its paths
breadcrumbs won’t help you here
you’ll need something a little bit sturdier as you make your way
round the puzzle
if you manage to get to the centre
next thing you’ll need to do is to make your way out
that will take a while – of course
help always comes from a helpful park ranger
My mind was focused on two large pine cones
engaged in a race under an iron bridge
determined to reach the other side
in order
to beat the other to the bank
a force of nature willing them on
to reach the end before their friend
if you were wondering who won
of course – it was neither – it was the squirrels
now nibbling on them at the end of the bank

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

Perhaps you would say
Its probably the most recognisable tree
Next to the horse chestnut and
English Oak – Its seeds hanging from its evergreen branches
Growing commences when these seeds find their way under ground
Released into the air slowly and then
Enjoying the journey towards the clouds
Expect a squirrel to use it for a home while birds
Nest in the higher branches above them
There’s a definite change in the air
although he’s there – you don’t see the sun as much
longer nights, shorter days
expect the palette on the trees to change
on the whole – there’s signs that winter is on her way
frosty mornings covering fallen autumn leaves
a mass of crispy leaves amass
under the trees that once held them
to the wildlife its a sign to check the supplies and get
under the covers till the arrival of spring
munching on supplies before drifting off to sleep
night owls staying by their nests

They Call it “Modern Living”
as they rise up to the sky
colourful boxes in formation
thirty or fourty miles high
You would definately call it colourful
You could also call it cosy
You could even call it sardine-like
as you give your neighbours a nosy
Some like the format of it all
as they talk to the neighbours ‘cross the way
but some don’t like the shadows
its night in the middle of the day
Balconies round a patch of green
which after sundown, isn’t often seen
watching the clouds pass in the sky
and seeing the odd bird fly by

In a rock garden, secluded away from the weather
a hardened young magpie, is out to make things better
he’s building up a place, for his mate to lay eggs
or simply for somewhere to rest her legs
and with things he’s located about and around
he’s decorated the nest site and the surrounding ground
#cyw #orchid
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
