Outside my window
And in plain view
Posy petals
Glisten in dew
Dreaming of days
Dazzling and bright
And envy of Kings
In summer delight
Pink tulle tutus
Tipping to bow
Flowing confetti
“Grazie” then “Ciao”

For Day 22 of NaPoWriMo2015
The amount of midges
Mulling on the lawn
Impressive as a bog
Said the eager frog
I know the Black Bird
Bustled them all
Beating his wings
Makin a din of things
I know the Bee fellow
Watched Black Bird flee
Thinking thankfully
Now Peace will be
Day 20 of NaPoWriMo 2015
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.
O sun streak through
Alabaster days
Banish weak torment
Of the morning haze
Glisten into the sea
Adorn the mighty waves
Flee the blinding mists
Brighten with golden rays
Bring forth the spirit
Of dawn full of praise
Sing from dismal slumber
Out of this dark phase
For WPC: Orange

A squirrel
Leaps abound
Shaken leaves downed
Pine needles found
Trodden into the ground
Foliage
And wood
Mache into mud
Soft under foot
Where tractor wheels cut
Rustling
Of debris
Skyward and see
Birds fly free
Rhythm of land, of tree
Writing 201
