Take a look at this lovely pony
it’s obvious he is feeling lonely
he knows if he squeezed through the fence
he’d be able to meet new friends
but for now he will just stand and sigh
as he sadly watches each passer-by

answers an age old question

Let your imagination leap
and picture me as I mumble
Sir I am ever so humble
seen as the archetypal creep
I am of course Uriah Heep
Of all the books that you have read
this man will stick within your head
but if we look inside his mind
we gain insight into mankind
no better trait needs to be said.

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #221 “Olympic successes.”
Like many people in Britain I fear
who’ve all been waiting over a year
to see people on the other side of the world
who ran and jumped and bounced and twirled
but quite a few of us in the main
have watched the rowers as they strain
but have any of us ever thought
if they get sore sitting on those thwarts

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt
The contestants in Paris to Dakar races
plan their routes on a most sensible basis
that if they are not able to carry any water
when planning their route they oughta
make certain that they can stop at an oasis.

Miniature koi swim

Ronovan writes #Decima poetry challenge #67 “Cat and mouse.”
Fishermen’s cottages fringe the bay
as the cool evening mist comes down
the lamplighter begins his round
his measured footstep seems to say
the ending of another day
in the cramped parlours fires burn low
shadows form in their fading glow
whiskers twitching mice start to creep
wary of the ginger tom’s leap
knowing that fresh warm blood may flow

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #141 “A poor boy whose story’s often told”
Here’s the story of Nathaniel Quinn
he never did learn how to swim
one day at the lakeside he fell in
and though everyone was looking for him
they never did find poor Nathaniel Quinn
