Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
#weather
There must be something
wrong with the thermometer
for the man at the met.office
is suggesting we all
wrap up snug and warm
in the next few days
His colleagues and pals
say “its too warm for snow”
but its hiding in the clouds
while the winds are a go
waiting for a mercury drop
when on the grasses and roofs it’ll stop
So while it’s in clouds
the wildlife will stay
having their fun and playing away
till the flakes of snow land on the ground
and they head for their nests and burrows around
#CYW #Aquamarine
They say its the true colour of water
but by the time you’ve had your cordial added
the fruit has fizzled it away
It sets of a summer holiday perfectly
as the sun reflects its blue
and you wan’t to dip your toes
on perfect days, the sky mirrors the sea
and its like the sea begins where the sky ends
wonderful to look at from a deckchair
of course, the jeweller likes this colour
its the birthstone thats usually surrounded by diamonds
so its no wonder he likes it
or the colour of the eyes of the young lady
whos entered his shop
to purchase a ring with this precious stone
#WDYS #cloud
They say the skies are full of animals
from Lions to Rams and Great Bears
you need a telescope
for they appear at night
but some they appear – fluffy and white
clear as day, up in the sky
around the air they fly
You can see them when you walk on the sand of the beach
just above your head – within your eyes reach
popping up to say hello
and with a brisk westerly, away they go.
A piece from inky
in response to Chris Breebart Photography page – whats in the picture?
What’s up there in the sky ?
Get past the matted marshmallow sky
And you’ll find a brilliant azure sky
Away from the clear blue
Places for the sun to play hide and seek
#fowc #lean
like a rocket the shoots of the tree
extended out to the sky
and as it did – the winds blew it gently to and fro
now the trees arms are nearer to the squirrels than the birds
From the rooftops they moved
From one to the the other
Freely through the morning air and
Floating Marshmallow
Free as birds are to do as they please – looking for a change of scene
#thelastphoto
Created in response to the last photo
Yeah, its strange –
two birds sharing a neighbours roof –
it could have been something else,
a shot taken in the park – or maybe by the waters of the quayside,
but then it would have been nothing more than a mere copy
of something i’d taken days , weeks or months before
a magpie and a pigeon – taking a load off
and wondering which cloud to fly into next
#MLMM #Photochallenge
Looking up at the sky,
It didn’t seem so far away
Going about its business
Helping out the stars
To lighten up the darkness
Ingenious people – wanted to build a place there
Of course, if it were offered
Up in a rocket she would go
Staying in a home among the stars
The light dawns,
seagulls pass overhead
bluest sky beckons
shoelaces fastened
heading off down the path
following sunbeams
the path never changes
but the people passing do
walking over stone
short distances green
awaken sleepy braincells
bringing happiness
end of the distance
heading back, to where it began
ascending the stones
