Taking a break for a while
I know that I worry if I notice some people haven't posted for a while. So I am just letting those kind folk who leave likes and comments on my attempts know that I am taking a bit of time off WOL. Hopefully I will be back to annoy you all soon with my daily attempts. Jx

Jobs For A September Day
Time well spent in the garden
jobs for a September day
The big tidy up is done
now Autumn is on its way
Tonne of logs delivered
for the cold winter nights ahead
Neatly stacked and stored
in the newly organised woodshed
Some plants saw their last day
the lawn had its last Summer trim
Patios have been swept clean
the green bin filled to the brim
The garden looks spick and spa...

Harvest Moon
Serene, calm and peaceful
gleaming, pearlescent moonlight
Deep, dark and mystical
the late September night
Big, bold and beautiful
glowing, fluorescent white
Full, round and magical
the harvest moon tonight

Golden Sea Of Sunshine
A glorious morning
bathed in early Autumnal glow
Golden sea of sunshine
washes over the land below
A sunrise full of promise
welcoming the brand new day
Molten honey coloured skies
melting your troubles away

A Weekday Walk Up Whernside
Ribblehead was the starting point
of our first long walk for quite a while
The highest of the Yorkshire three peaks
the planned route was nine and a half miles
Along with many others it seemed
we had chosen a good weather day
Groups of schoolchildren, friends and couples
we met along the narrow pathway
We climbed up the long limestone stairway
beside the train track and gentle str...

Misty Autumnal Morning
This veiled, sleepy, magical scene
brings a sense of mystery our way
This misty Autumnal morning
brings the promise of a beautiful day

Red Kite
A beautiful skyward scene
moody early morning sky
Bright sun breaks through cloudy grey
where the red kite soars so high

The Mythical Story Of Devil’s Bridge
How did Devil’s Bridge get its name
is a question still asked today
Here is how the story goes
and what local legend has to say
It’s a tale of an old woman
who came to fetch her cow one day
She arrived at the River Lune
to find her cow had lost its way
It had strayed to the other side
now the river flowed fast and deep
There was no way to get across
she despaired and began to ...

Twenty years have passed us by
since the nine eleven terrorist attack
The news coverage reminds us of that day
brings all those emotions back
67 British lives were lost that day
innocent folk just going about their business
No one could ever imagine
the horror the world would witness
It feels a little wrong somehow
today brings some good news to celebrate
On the twentieth anni...

Hazy September Morning
Hazy September morning
I waken to misty skies
Bathed in dreamy golden hues
buttery yellow sunrise
As the wildflowers gently fade
in meadows brittle and dry
I sense the Autumn chill
waving our summer goodbye

Just Two Frolicking Rabbits
The late heatwave is over
this morning brings a grey sky
I find a ray of sunshine
in the fields as I pass by
Just two frolicking rabbits
playing around having fun
Brightens up this dull morning
all that’s missing is the sun

So Frustrating
plotting, planning
printing, scanning
sizing, tiring
pricing, trying
drawing, sketching
spending, stretching
checking, testing
building, nesting
contemplating
renovating
speculating
calculating
estimating
excavating
escalating
hesitating
guessing, straining
stressing, draining
hating, waiting
so frustrating

Wild Swan
A swan and her cygnets
swimming in a line
Like an old steam engine
majestic and fine
Gracefully gliding
following her lead
Slow and steady pace
tracking through the weed

Rich Pickings (rewrite)
A late Summer morning
captivating sunrise
The suns glow radiates
clouds drift on inky skies
Dew dazzles like diamonds
on grass of emerald green
Berries hang like rubys
birds feast like kings and queens
Mother Natures banquet
found amongst shrubs and trees
Bronze, copper and gold leaves
shiver on the cool breeze
Wild fruit for the taking
a tempting, tasty treat
Lavish je...

Rich Pickings
On a late Summer morning
I take in the early sunrise
Golden glow radiates warmth
as clouds drift across inky skies
I sense Autumn approaching
catch my breath on the chilly breeze
The wonder of nature’s harvest
appears on the laden trees
I see the changing of season
I hear the hands of time ticking
The riches that Autumn brings
will soon be here for our picking

Late Summer, Early Morning
Late Summer, early morning
in good old London City
Cheered by this floral display
pastel colours so pretty
A light, delicate palette
green, yellow, pink and white
Airbrush my commute today
a picture perfect delight

Busy Bumble Bee
Busy busy bee
in a feeding frenzy
Gorging on pollen
getting rather messy
Black and yellow stripes
a sprinkling of dust
Greedy bumble bee
full and fit to bust

Herdy
Allow me to introduce myself
my name is Herdy
I am bred from Herdwick stock
resilient, strong and sturdy
I live on the Lakeland fells
rugged, mountainous and high
I have a thick, woolly coat
which keeps me warm and dry
My fleece is coarse, cloudy grey
bristly, wavy and wiry
My head is soft, snowy white
my face is cute and smiley
I roam free in lush, green fields
rest by rushi...

The First Of September
The potted plant colours are fading
and the acer trees are turning brown
There’s a chillier feel to the day
and I am feeling a little down
Next doors veg plot has been turned over
and the school fields are mown and ready
I can’t believe August is over
and September is here already
Children prepare for the new school year
Covid chaos means further delays
There are calls for mor...
