New paintings and regular art updates.
Cherry Scone with jam and cream.
Tasty treat makes me beam!
But how do you pronounce this fodder?
Which pronunciation is odder?
Call it a scone?
Once eaten it’s gone!
Call it a scone?
To rhyme with stone?
But surely that’s fake?
It’s then a rock cake!
Oh the joy of a happy cat
Smiling teeth, sharp claws
Ready to pounce
Satisfied with his hunting skills
He can stay in the house
Leave birds
Play with his toy mouse!
Stay happy but quiet!
Good cat!
I’m muddled and muddied
Confused and twisted
I’m all out of coping
My strength has diminished
But I have to cope
Twist the strands of hope
Back together again.
Find my way through the fog
Out of the maze
Into light.
A queue in the rain
For a British barbecue
Waterfall effect is a pain
Smoke and drizzle falling
Barometer says thunder
Must be summer
No chance to simmer
In the sun’s rays
And charcoal briquettes?
Won’t light in the deluge…
Soggy burgers and hotdogs?
Make the most of it..
Next week snow, or fog!
Every week Esther Chilton posts a limerick challenge. This week’s Monday limerick word was “luck”.
Sometimes these are easy, other times hard. This week’s wasn’t bad.
Basically a limerick has two rhyming lines of a longish length, then two shorter ones that rhyme using a different pattern and then finally the last line is longer and goes back to the first type of rhyme. Have a go yourself on Esthers page?
My limerick is :
Finally I have had some good luck,
I found lots of gold in a truck,
it was hidden away,
in an old parking bay,
at the home of the Pirate called “Hook”!
In a gallery
But looking outside
Fresh green against brick red
Daylight catches the wall
As sun starts to set.
Always look outside the box
The view might change
Your thoughts too….
Chances are
You’ll see something new.
Loud purrs, happy fur, cats got catnip highs.
Writhing around, sniffing the ground and covered in bits of nip!
Glued to the mat, cheery cat, sitting and rolling about.
It does amaze me, how they go crazy all for a few flakes of cat mint!
Sunlight on birches
Silver and brown.
Spring is a blooming
In woods and on ground.
Bluebells are over
Now comes the new
Garlands of roses
Covered in dew
Clematis climbing
Lilac are blue
Purple and white
Flowers scented too.
Remember the birches
Other trees shine
Oak tree and walnut
Hornbeam and lime
Oh lovely summer
In you come soon
When sunlight is brightest
At wondrous noon.
Imagine branches floating high
Just hanging there with no tree by
To support their weight
An oddity
Somewhere alien do you cry?
A myth, a fantasy, a spectral trick?
No all I did was crop the pic
Doubled up the photo twice
Got this image looking nice!
Voila an abstract play of tree
Made quite simply, by me!
Ugh!
Gotta bug!
Feeling ill and tired.
Didn’t sleep
Stayed awake
My throat sore
When I swallowed.
Feeling hot
Headache too
I don’t know
What I’ve acquired!
Better be well
I two days time
When singing
I will be
With a choir!
