This week it was sad to see
died Johnny Johnson MBE
on his medal his name engraved
for those lives his bravery saved.

Another string to my bow
Not only do I try to be a weaver of words, I’ve also discovered the joy of weaving on a loom and this is my first creation, all I need is a cane, a top hat and a skill at song and dance.
Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #257 #Isn’t nature wonderful
The glow worm is a quite
small bug that goes out at night
he has a luminous bum
to invite females to come
and check out the eerie green light.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #176 Greenhouse tips and tricks
I’d like to impart to you something that I’ve learnt
if it’s a hot, sunny day your plants can get burnt
so leave the door open or perhaps a window instead
but make sure that you close it before you go to bed
for it sometimes gets very cold, especially through the night
and to find your precious plants all dead is not a pretty sight

Ronovan writes Decima poetry prompt #94 #Commitment
Julian sat in her stone cell
from behind a window of glass
she could watch as they performed mass
while confined in this living hell,
tickets to see her, priests would sell,
in the mid fourteenth century
an anchoress she chose to be
while all through those long lonely years
she recorded her thoughts and fears
so that all, her passion might see.

When asked about June twenty eighteen
I will always remember the scene
What I did was not being brave
Rescuing the boys who were trapped in that cave
The, “Wild Boars,” junior football team

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #238 #Maybe superstition
I don’t think I’ve heard anything sillier
than the names of the so-called witches familiar
such names as Bodkin, Turncoat and Scat
now who on earth would believe that
but as we read about it the case unravels
that were brought by the man who on his travels
whose self-made credentials were quite ephemeral
Mathew Hopkins, known as The Witchfinder General
but those days are gone and I suppose
we should pray for those found guilty, now in repose
