Samiscribbles weekend writing prompt #413 #A Grey day

Now I can’t believe what the Council have done

for did he not call me the chosen one

when my Cousin Edward sadly passed

of his Protestant hopes I was the last

so whilst on his deathbed I was named

though against my wishes that I should reign

neither impudence nor greed was mine

reflecting as on the wooden block I recline

that as Queen I cannot die at the end of a rope

so the axemans blade is sharp I can but hope.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #029 #Strike while the iron is hot.

My siblings and I were sifting the ground

for the farmer had recently sown the seed

all of a sudden Jackie said I think I’ve found

something to satisfy all of our needs

but just as we turned to see what she’d got

a huge gull flew down and scoffed the lot

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #411 #Bath of blood

Charlotte Cornay in flowing gown and tall black hat

did call one evening at the house of Marat

all smiling but then with an expression fierce

with one blow of the knife his chest did pierce

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #028 #Advice in brackets

A type of fungus that is seldom seen

unless a walk in the woods is your delight

they are often found on fallen trees

who lie on the ground letting in the light

but you shouldn’t be fooled by its name

and think it might make a tasty treat

for the turkey tail can justly lay claim

to being tough and very unpleasant to eat.
