Though
the
harvest
is finished
yellow sunflowers
still dance merrily in the sun
their smiling faces spreading joy to both birds and bees
as they feast upon their seeds and pollen whilst children laugh at their bright smiling faces

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #248 #Latin legacy
It’s really quite easy for us to make
a guess as to when these walls were made
straight and true and very thick
with alternate layers of flint and brick
using Roman strength and British sand
erecting fortresses across the land.

In shimmering skies
sharp edges soften and melt
bright like Summer sun

Micro seasons Heavy rain showers
The hot dusty earth
welcomes the fierce cooling storm
green and pleasant land

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #323 #The games afoot
I knocked on the door and there was no answer, as I expected for my friend seldom answered, preferring to leave the door unlocked and for his rare unscheduled visitors to enter unannounced thus not interrupting his long periods of deep thought, almost in meditation. “Batson!’ he exclaimed, lovely to see you my friend,” I heard him call. He could not have seen me for he was in the next room and I smiled for I knew it was almost impossible to outsmart Mr. Hemlock Soames, probably the most famous private detective alive in Victorian England.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #247 #The parlour maid
In a crevice between grey stones lurks
a fat bodied patient predator
who sits and waits to feel a jerk
upon the delicate gossamer
threads of her sticky self spun twine
when another hapless fly is ensnared
a feast upon which she at ease may dine
in the warmth and safety of her lair.
