it’s pristine
the beach is so beautiful
waves are dancing around
there’s so many shells
picking up some
to take home
~~~
It’s a Seox – lovely!

Just blissful
it’s rainy and blustery
since it’s winter and chilly
but if we are all inside
it’s really blissful
It’s May, and its beautiful… sometimes still, but since we’re in the south hemisphere it’s pretty cold now!

It’s a Dodoitsu – nice!

Just a broken chair
Just a broken chair – and it’s a Hainka
just a broken chair
but so many stories appear
even though it’s old
I can still sit there
shadows and sunshine are fine
just a broken chair
but more stories still unfold
and what will happen next time?

She’s Aquarius
she’s Aquarius
such a beautiful creature
she’s wheeling around
and wearing her magenta
though she often wears silver
she is a kelpie
she’ll dive down and up again
and she’ll breathe Air
she is an inspiration
and she’ll fly up to the moon

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. The challenge this week is to play with colours and write a syllabic poem of your choice featuring your zodiac colour.
I’m Aquarius and my colour is Magenta, plus my element is Air.
A Scurry of Squirrels
Squirrels, an Acrostic Nonet Poem
Squirrel, are you in that drey over there?
Quite a place I imagine, is that right
Under and hiding in that palm tree
I definitely think I can see you
Room for many of them
Run out now, go on
Every one join in
Link up together
Scurrying
Written in response to this week’s Tanka Challenge hosted by Willow. She has asked us to think about what is happening underground. Seeds and bulbs are waking up, while roots are looking for nourishment and reaching out looking for communication and news. Little creatures and insects are all on the move.
PS – I hope I’ve got away with this. These squirrels are not quite underground, although they are under and hiding in our palm tree.
