Ronovan writes Haiku poetry #374
In the dark, cold night
we witness the Northern lights
with eyes of a child

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #143
Whilst on a trip down to the Weald
I went for a walk through the fields
The air smelt fresh, I soon saw why
On the hill was a huge pig sty
I have no qualms about pig-shit
Just glad I didn’t walk through it
Then a story came to my mind
The tale of the Gadarene swine
And the farmers in this region
Wouldn’t like it if I were Legion

Miniature koi swim
showing off their gold armour
echoing Autumn

Crimsons Creative Challenge #140
Yesterday I went for a walk to see
what we had always known as the old dead tree
but you can imagine my surprise
at the beautiful sight that met my eyes
I stood and rubbed my eyes in disbelief
every old, twisted limb was coming into leaf
then I remembered what my mother once said
that nothing in nature is completely dead
and when old trees finally fall to the ground
their end of life will benefit all around

Using homespun threads
an intricate web she will weave
before each day breaks

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #136 #Hope springs eternal
Lying prostrate upon the grass
up above looms a soft-edged mass
brings with it a threat of showers
staring down her grey face glowers
then all at once to my surprise
appears a bright mistimed sunrise
bringing anew a hope it may
drive all the sombre clouds away
and if I’m lucky it just might
change their colour from grey to white.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #133 “Mummy knows what’s best.”
Mummy duck and baby duck
were going for a walk
suddenly from up above
they heard a loud squawk
quickly dear, said mummy duck
come in and get close to me
for if that big bird sees you
he will take you home for tea
but the silly little duckling
didn’t do what his mummy said
so the greedy seagull in the sky
swooped down and carried him off instead

Ronovan writes Decima prompt #56 Symphony of life
I’m sure you don’t have to be told
the pleasure gained from listening
enraptured as the songbird sings
though whether it be wet or cold
his notes will shine like liquid gold
from his high perch up in the trees
his joyful tunes ride on the breeze
we can be sure he does not need
a written score from which to read
his repertoire is sure to please.

Ronovan writes Haiku challenge #357
A natural high
that’s guaranteed to refresh
a breath of fresh air
