Fantasy month

It appears that I may have been tagged , I didn’t feel anything, I was not standing in a corner with my face to the wall, eyes closed, counting to one hundred but this is progress. I’ve been advised to pass comment on what effect the , “Fantasy,” genre has had upon me. My artisty skills are pretty well under-developed or you would see before you a picture of a spinning globe to signify that it has been my whole world. It has influenced my taste in dress, art appreciation and without doubt, favoured relaxation reading. Having been brought up on mythology and tales of the Greek heroes it has forever been a part of my life. This post is my way of introducing you to someone whom you may not be aware was an inspiration to the considered master, J.R.R. Tolkien. I refer of course to William Morris, a true Romantic, with many facets of which, even you, dear readers may be unaware. His two stylish tales were probably the first I read that were not part of the school curriculum. Look them out if you have not yet sampled their delights. A joy to mankind.SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

Colleen’s weekly tanka challenge #22

you hear mind the doors

the train is about to leave

if you are standing 

best brace yourself or you may

find gravity is no friend

the pig lies down in the mud

to escape the heat

Colleen’s weekly Tanka challenge #21 The wreckers Prayer

Slowly, from the fog
a sailing ship approaches,
land ho is the cry.
Light my lamp to change their course
and put them into danger

Flesh a solemn grey,

bright, hopeful eyes, now fading

bloodstains in the  field

although no words are spoken

will lighten your heart
