Smoothies are a blend
of fruity cocktail and slush
healthy fun for kids
Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #241 Brevity is the key to success.
Being a writer who
used words like hullabaloo
realising that is a sin
I now use the word din

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #240 Guardian of the forest
Whether in a sunlit forest clearing
or hidden deep within the dank, moist shade
he will be found forever preening
a gaudy, strutting Indian brave,
proudly standing with his tail displayed,
a hundred eyes are always watching
throughout earth’s history was there ever
found in nature a sight quite matching
the splendour of each jewelled feather
unlidded eyes that will not ever
close thus allowing him sleep or rest
all the while displaying pavonine breast
the faithful guardian of the forest

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #162 The winged messenger
I heard a song from in the trees
and looking up I felt at ease
for if a robin doth appear
a loved one though once lost is near
so I gazed upon his bright red breast
happy knowing they are all at rest

Sea and sky entwined
like lovers, viewed from afar
our one blue planet

Mistletoe and wine on again
T V remote on the table
to reach it I am not able
so I have to listen then
to a song that celebrates when
meeting people we have to try
to stifle any wish to sigh
hoping my face doesn’t give away
the thoughts behind my eyes that day
and memories won’t make me cry.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #161
I find when talking to country folk
their favourite tree is the mighty oak
so just last week whilst driving my truck
I stopped near this one to have a look
and you can imagine my surprise
I’m sure I saw a pair of eyes
so I jumped back in to tell my mate Stan
He said, don’t worry, tiz just the Green Man
he won’t hurt you if you leave him alone
but I think we’d best start heading for home.
