Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #340 #A science lesson

Long realised by everyone

our planet revolves round the sun

but do they ever take the trouble

to notice that it tends to wobble

and this we find is the main reason

why we have the things called seasons

and if it did not tilt at about twenty degrees

one half would bake and the other would freeze

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #339 #Troubled couple

With all the news and television footage

of those who have been kicked out of Frogmore cottage

it would not come as much of a surprise

if most of what we see or hear are lies

but even with no embellishment

they’re a disgrace to the establishment

when an agile mind is set free

to make an object of such beauty

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #263 #Autumnal fantasy

I went for a walk with a local wench

we stopped and sat down on this oak bench

the leaves on the trees were both golden and brown

wind blown flurries falling to the ground

with this rain of beauty from above

my thoughts strangely turned to love

but when I said how about it dear

she said no chance, especially here
