Mornings…?

I try and write a limerick for Esther Chiltons blog on a Monday. Someone puts a prompt word up and people respond.

I usually forget to copy my limerick for myself but I did today. Its a bit clumsy, the lines are quite long, but it does have the structure of a limerick. That is the first two lines have the last word rhyming, the next two lines rhyme with each other and then the final fifth line rhymes with the first two.

Here it is, the prompt word was ‘lark’ which can appear anywhere in the limerick, not necessarily at the end of a line.

I’m very rarely up with the lark
Early attendance I get a black mark
Just goes to show staying up late
Does not myself an early bird make
I get up so late, its already gone dark!

Moon

Far away – spy

Daylight moon fly

Pale blue and white

Clouds billow out

Craters are hidden

Mares unbidden

Lie in bright sunlight

Lost in the day, bright

Sea of tranquility

We had ability

Moonlanding site

A spectacular flight.

Apollo was lord

Of our neighbouring world.

Up the garden path.

I’d better sweep up

The winds got up

And blown the leaves

All into weaves

The hedge is bare

And trees now dare

To share naked twigs

As branches do jigs

Dancing in the autumn air

Bright colours that dare

Descend to meet

Your slipping feet!

Dancing leaves

Dancing a jive

Swirling a jig

Almost alive

Tiny and big

Crumpled and flat

Spread on the ground

Shiny and matt

Colours abound.

Nature as art

Life and decay

The leaves take part

In dance and play

Best bread and butter pud

Tasty..

Followed the recipe

Milk and egg

Brown bread

Dried fruit

And fresh topped

With banana, chopped

Cherry and

Blueberry land

In layers through

This tasty chew.

Avoiding sugar

So sprinkled sweetner

To make it taste?

Ace!

Tide

In and out

Out then in

Turn about

Sink or swim

Splash and shout

Try to float

water wings

Take a boat

Walk the sand

Paddle in water

Tide turns round

As the moon grows brighter.

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!

A rhyme remembered

It’s been raining here for days! From when I happened to say to a friend at the end of April, ‘we really need some rain, the farmers are worried they haven’t had enough for their crops’.

Be wary of what you ask for.

Now I remember the old rhyme we used to say when it was always raining ‘rain, rain, go away, come again another day’! It has poured down so hard today you can hear it thrumming on the kitchen roof and battering the windows… Enough! I want to go for a walk!

Penkhull flowers

Pink green and white

Garden delight

Found on our walk

Flowers on their stalk

Intermingled pink and green

And white, glowing, clean

Really bad poem?

Better get going!

Raining

Digital sketch filtered through photodirector.

I decided to write a verse
Which might seem rather perverse..
I'm learning the ropes 
For knowledge I grope. 
About WordPress block editor
And I might need a mediator?
It's like very heavy rain
It can be an absolute pain! 
Storm clouds gather 
I'm in a lather
Maybe I should write this again? 
Is there anything at all to gain.....
