A Clerihew
My Dad, has trophies, for growing flowers
Superhero, with Dahlia powers
Charming the sweet pea to hypnotically weave
Training stem, petal, pollen till perfection achieved
A Clerihew, a four-line biographical poem for NaPoWriMo2015. -
Camellia
Outside my window
And in plain view
Posy petals
Glisten in dewDreaming of days
Dazzling and bright
And envy of Kings
In summer delightPink tulle tutus
Tipping to bow
Flowing confetti

I Know…..
The amount of midges
Mulling on the lawn
Impressive as a bog
Said the eager frogI know the Black Bird
Bustled them all
Beating his wings
Makin a din of thingsI know the Bee fellow
Watched Black Bird flee
Thinking thankfully
Now Peace will beDay 20 of NaPoWriMo 2015

Home of Inspiration
This is Brantwood, home of John Ruskin (1819-1900) the artist, writer and champion of the welfare state. Ruskin absorbed the natural world around him and expressed his talents through paintings and poetry. In 1869 he was Professor of Fine Arts at Oxford and established the Ruskin School of Drawing (wikipedia.org).
The Brantwood Estate is suspended, afloat on the hillside above lake Coniston Water. The house continues his legacy by exhibiting local artist’s work in a gallery. The gardens display the array of inspiration and the footpaths lead to the lakeside.
