Hanging baskets

Two hanging baskets, one below the other, have gone mad this year!

A column of plants

Chlorophyll filled

Turning a house

Into a garden.

Green with splashes

Of colours, gaudy

Reminds me of

The sculptor

Gaudi!

A mosaic of flowers

Crushed together,

Late summer skills

Gardening thrills!

Strawberries and cream

Strawberries and cream

A delightful dish

Summers dream

Taste of bliss.

Sweet and lovely

Soft and silky

Red and white

Dessert delight!

Two pens

Holding two pens

I draw a face.

Hard to control,

The pens wobble

Tighter grip now

Try again…

The face emerges

The offset pens

Give it a blurred look.

An ancient roman

Apparently appears.

Purple

A mix of red and blue

This colour can impress

A historical royal hue

An expensive shade

Until a method

Of manufacturing

Artificial purple

Came into view

Made by mistake

When making Quinine.

Rain

Walking in the rain

Grey sky

Big raindrops

Walking through puddles

Toes damp

Coat let’s in water

Through the seams

Glasses steam up

Rain hood blocks

The view

Up and down streets

Supermarket to warm up

Walking with shopping

Plod on

Through the rain.

Sleeping cats

Snoring, sleeping

Dreaming of leaping

Warm and snuggled

After being cuddled

Breath slowing down

After a night on the town.

Raining outside

Came in to hide

Away from the storm

With a lick and a yawn!

Sleeping cat

You show your belly

Cheer me up

Dare I tickle

Your white chest.

Paws have claws

Eyes are half closed

I don’t trust you!

But your belly

Tempts!

Climb a tree

Posted on August 2, 2021August 2, 2021 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Climbing, Gardening, Growth, high, Memories, Photo, Plant, Poem, Poetry, Tree, WalkingLeave a comment

Climb a tree

Go up high

Up the branches

To the sky

Rough, hard bark

Hard to climb

In the dark

And down again.

Eighty foot

Old and strong

Limbs of great girth

Twisted and long.

Memory showed

Trees far up there

If I climbed up?

I’d get a scare!

Sleeping

Snoozing

Sharing

Sweet.

Staring

Settled

Snug

Soft.

Sheltered

Subtle

Saturday

Sheets

Falling

Posted on July 29, 2021December 13, 2021 Posted in Sketching, UncategorizedTagged Art, Falling, Mark making, parachute, Pastels, Poem, Poetry, SketchingLeave a comment

Down

Downwards

Through the air

Lower and lower

Faster

Slipping through the atmosphere

Tumbling

Speed

Rushing…

Falling

Parachute!
