Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #252 #Full circle
It’s Saturday and it’s time to see
what challenge Sammi Cox has for me,
I might purport to be the best
to try my hand at his test
then it’s published, so sit and wait
to see if any likes I make
then I think well it’s not
how many likes I got,
followers I hope to gain
so next week I try again.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #174 What a surprise
Now who would carve a ball of wool
up on the top of a wooden stool
so while I’m up here what the heck
I think I’m gonna have a peck
but ouch, that hurts and now I see
the ball is made of wood like me
so instead of finding a nice soft bed
I just get a sore bill and aching head

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #173 Thoughts of wife and family
It’s a sad and lonely life I lead
drifting slowly across the lake
till with a splash into the reeds
I dive and choose which meal to take
a fish, a frog sometimes an eel
are caught and then devoured by me
but come Springtime such a meal
will be shared with my family
of hen and chicks if we’re so blessed
waiting patiently on the nest.

Bring your bell and pan

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #250 #Wordsearch
I will tell you a curious story
The point of it will soon become clear
Not sure if it’s true but this was told to me
So I will just pass on something quite queer
A young girl went riding on her family’s estate
Despite warnings she preferred to ride alone
Now begins the mystery as to her fate
Because on this occasion she didn’t return home
Her riderless pony was found wandering down the lane
And poor Miriam Anne Quinton was never seen again.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #172 #Songster of the night
Upon the branch there sits a bird
of night, his voice so seldom heard
although it’s often said you may
hear his elusive call by day
but if this bird then does give tongue
it is the same song as the sun.

Ronovan writes weekly #Decima prompt #97 #Doctors orders
Finally I am laid to rest
all my worldly cares forgotten
no more will I feel so rotten
as when the pain within my chest
convinced me that it may be best
if I booked in the surgery
my local doctor for to see
and told that I would have to wait
for they were not open till eight
by then it was too late for me.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #249 #Rainbow
Remember the days of George, Bungle and Zippy
these characters were an obvious recipe
for a programme for children’s TV
which I am sure the producers could see
would be one of the best on BBC
