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

A Days Work…..

Watched over my shores
Kept possibilities afloatI swaggered the banner
And raised the tide
Worked through anguish
For our sense of prideI swept out the doubts
That folded around
Housing cool whispers
Putting fears to ground -

Landscape
A squirrel
Leaps abound
Shaken leaves downed
Pine needles found
Trodden into the groundFoliage
And wood
Mache into mud
Soft under foot
Where tractor wheels cutRustling
Of debris
Skyward and see
Birds fly free
Rhythm of land, of tree

A Message
A touch, a hand with loving care.
Clutching fingers embrace and calm the despair.
Enveloping a message in a time of need,
Hold on take heed.
Fingers latch, a firm call.
Making a promise, catching if you fall.Your prompt: fingers

Today’s device: assonance
