We sit by the burn
and remember the old days

Ronovan writes #Decima prompt #90 The beauty of nature
Out in the woods I saw today
guaranteed to lighten my heart
was a sight of natural art
for on the grass I spied a jay
although quite common so they say
as on the grass he alighted
true to say I was delighted
silver blue wingtips shining bright
and chessboard flanks of black and white
with fawn and purple neck and breast
his long beak probing on it’s quest
truly a magnificent sight

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

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

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.

When the snail moves house
it is done at his own pace
a job for wet days

We came upon a clearing where
birdsong drifted on the air
and gently lifted on the breeze
came the sound of trembling leaves,
trying not to make a sound
we laid our coats upon the ground
and leaning back against a tree
we poured ourselves a cup of tea.

Just fine and dandy

Sammiscribbles weekend writing prompt #226 #The skylark
A combine does it’s plotted round
leaves no waste upon the ground
to maintain our world of plenty
whilst my crop remains empty
no butterfly, aphid or bee
to feed my hungry family
I remember horses in the yard
their days were long, often hard
cutting the corn at stately pace
to feed the growing human race
now I fear those halcyon days
will be lost forever in the haze
of time, imprinted on our memory
just a sad but too familiar story

In the dark, cold night
we witness the Northern lights
with eyes of a child
