Well, I think this is a really nice place to build a new house after the sad loss of our last one in the fire, pity the kids won’t be around to enjoy this lovely spot, strange they never did come back.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #302 #The circus comes to town.
As benches fill families sit with expectant hum in rapt anticipation of the evening to come, the oval sawdust floor now smoothly raked before the animals begin their grand parade the trumpet sound of elephants above the lions roar, the lights grow bright and from each entrance pour clowns from wonky cars and happy tunes are played before they are replaced by glittering acrobats and galloping ponies who in circles race, a top-hatted figure in red and black enters the ring and doffs his fine top hat, in his hand a whip he cracks and so the show begins.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #301 #Stranger on the shore
From its roosting perch on a windy ledge
a wader returns to the waters edge
waiting each day for the falling tide
to expose the places where sea-creatures hide
long beak and tongue probing in the sand
for buried worms, cockles and clams
and every day she can truly affirm
that the early bird will catch the worm

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #377 #Consequences
An act of cowardice in October last
has invited the one true god’s wrath
and as the chosen people justly retaliate
their actions could easily reverberate
if more state sponsored terrorists join the fight
then the whole of the Middle East may ignite

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #300 #A wonderful world
Although there are some of you quite perturbed
by every member of the insect world
but I am sure the reason for their success
is their power of metamorphosis
if they are not happy in their bodily shell
they just swap for another that does just as well

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #376 #Whittle while you work
A visit to the country fair
often there’s a bodger there
see one working at his trade
masterpieces all handmade

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #375 #Sound advice
When upfront you will have to pay
you can often hear helpful people say
it’s easier if you can find a way
to spread the cost or if impossible then defray

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #298 #My path is clear
As the griffon atop his pillar sat
he thought to himself, well that is that
the birds used to come and sit on my head
like the insects and flies, all now dead
because the path was sprayed with paraquat

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #297 #Remember Derek and Clive live.
Well I was on this fence.
Electric fence?
No wooden, else I couldn’t get my feet on it or round it.
And it might tingle a bit
Yeah spose
And this fellah came up to me and do you know what he said?
No what?
Hello!
He said Hello?
Yeah, provocative fuxxer.
No?
Too bloody right.
Well I never.
Straight up.
What did you do?
Well I beaked him, I had to or there might have been trouble.
Good point, well thought out.
