Kate’s Friday Fun: Nonsense
One day
down the road
a number of things
found
which helped
to create nonsense.
Always on
the lookout
for things
which make us laugh.
We add
find
add a bit more
until our
small bit
of street art
is done
left for others
to find.
The first Ragtag Daily Prompt from Emily: Return
Every year
the water’s filled
with splashes
with gasps
from the crowd
who line
the coast
hoping for a glimpse
of majestic
Humpback whales
as they return
to warmer waters
to calve
and mate
giving hope
of a new life
as they travel
giving pleasure
to people
who return
every year
to watch
and wait.
PS It’s my turn tomorrow for my first Ragtag Daily Prompt
It’s not often I do a combined photo challenge.
So we have Sheryl’s Daily Word Prompt: Vanish
and Nancy’s Photo a Week Challenge: Timing is Everything
and Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Overhead
One day I was sitting in the garden
When from overhead
I heard something buzzing
growling, perhaps a deep throated roar.
I looked towards the horizon
Nothing
I looked towards the mountains
Nothing.
Hold steady I said
The sound began to get louder
That strange buzzing
growling, perhaps a deep throated roar.
I held my camera to my eye
Hold steady I said
Timing is everything
The sound was almost overhead
I waited
from the tree tops
The sound was there
I held my nerve
I saw it as it flew overhead
Timing is everything
Quick get that shot
before it could vanish.
The sound started to wane
That strange buzzing
growling, perhaps a deep throated roar
In great excitement
I looked at my camera
opened the screen to reveal……….
Timing is everything
when something is overhead
otherwise it will vanish.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt Wednesday: Nostalgia
What we like
Can be puzzle
A red elephant
on a shelf
A truck
from years ago
Riding off
on a wooden horse
Finding treasures
in the tip truck
Or a train
that grandpa made
Our nostalgia
always comes out
in the wash
The word prompt from Frank at Dutch goes the Photo: Hill
There
they said.
We want it
there.
Atop
that hill
they said.
Many years ago
it was done
There
atop the hill.
Built with
splendor
to be
important.
Viewed from
afar
the splendor
dwarfed by
rocks
and clouds
stands
engrossed
in it’s
self importance.
There
they said
We want
it there
so all can see
our might
and power.
The clouds
laughed.
The rocks
sighed.
It is there.
Nature
encroaches
but none shall
not know
it is
there
atop that hill.
The word prompt for Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Fly
We look at the word fly
What do we see
Of course I see a fly
Sitting on my arm
Ready to bite
Or is it
A spider and a fly
caught in the web
Buzzing, thrashing
Awaiting the inevitable
Or perhaps a butterfly
Sitting upon a leaf
Resting after a long flight
Showing it’s splendor
Enjoying the Sun
Maybe a Dragonfly
Looking about
Watching the camera
To ensure a capture
Of its good side
But it is always
a Fly that keeps
Coming back to the thoughts
When Fly is mentioned
Some doing laps of a jug
But Butterfly is the best
Resplendent in colour
As it sits atop a flower
Drinking the nectare
In The morning sun
But no
It is always a fly
A large horsefly
Buzzing around waiting
To find a place to bite
Who could dislike
Those splendid features
Eyes that can see
In multiple facets
A proboscis ready to draw blood
But some may venture
Further afield
And wish to fly
To be aloft
ready to explore
I seem to think of birds
There are many a bird
Who will invoke the fly
A Leaden Flycatcher
Will make you think Fly
Soaring above
The sky it’s domain
A Square-tailed Kite
Showing us the wonder
Of being able to fly
But for most of us
When we see the word
Fly
It is mostly the humble
Little creature – The Fly
The word prompt from Sheryl: Riveting
We were talking
He said
“I have a job”
“Really” I said
“Yes” he said
“You!”
“a job!”
I said
“Yes” he said
“a job”
“Where?” I said
“On the new
bridge” he said
“You don’t know
about bridges
let along building”
I said
“But I have
a job”
he said.
Weary of this
conversation
I just said
“Riveting”
with a sigh
“Yes” he said
“how did
you know?”
age is just a (biggish) number
