a random photo
I’d been hanging on the ceiling
Not an easy task
Then I’d dropped down
And set to work.
I’d drawn a picture
Then I began to write
My handwriting was very squiggly
And I even wrote in the margin.
Culture? What’s culture?
Well, there’s pressure in my head
But that’s not a problem
You see, I’m actually an influencer.

Val‘s Scavenger Hunt – 13th prompt
Write a free verse poem that incorporates the words: culture, ceiling, margin, pressure, influence.
my little friend
Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move
Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim
Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again
The sky is tinged with pink and turquoise, doves are courting merrily
Male weaver birds are busy making many nests, looking hopeful
Dawn is up, and already little creatures are on the move
Pond skaters glide across the water, striding with purpose
A dragonfly flies fast, then hovers, seeking for a mate
Geckos and lizards are warming up, and skittering near to the rim
Bright butterflies with glorious rainbow colours dance with glee
And pretty flowers wave to the bees asking them to pollinate them
Young squirrels hurry down the huge palm tree and up again

Dear Santa,
How are you?
Hope you are doing well
I bet you have already done most of your work
for this year
although there are many problems
around the world.
By the way, how is Mrs. Christmas?
She’s such a wonderful woman!
Oh, the reindeers and all those helpers,
also well – all good?
But now I have a little problem
and a little plea…
You see, the naughty spam
has been such a pain lately.
It’s all very well to just pop a ‘like’
but I really like to have a little conversation.
I very much like to post back
from anyone around the world
especially on WordPress.
So, Dear Santa
sorry about making a bit of a rant
but I’m sure you will be able to help.
You can have a little look to see what the problem is
and after that we will all talk again
and, of course, we will be ready to write
our poems for Santa’s post!

Val‘s Scavenger Hunt – 7th prompt
Write an Epistle Poem to Santa. The Epistle Poem is written as a letter. It can be a direct address, intimate or formal. The form is flexible – from free verse to rhyming couplets to a sonnet. The audience can be internal or external. The Epistle Poem is often used for moral, political or religious discourse.
P.S. This is all true, and if you haven’t seen me saying something on your post, that has been the problem on spam, I believe.
The Tiger Moth Club of South Africa

She was driving up
to the small airfield.
Listening to one of
M.C. Hammer songs.
She had been munching
a nice juicy apple.
She had just enough time
for a sweet and long sunset.
As she got into the ancient
de Havilland Tiger Moth.

my biggest trees

birds and squirrels jump for joy
