The Daily Post word prompt: Broken
The wheel of the wagon,
long since broken,
no longer
rolls down
the dirt track.
Once took produce
from the farm,
also long since
broken.
the drought

Be Quick
The daily Post Prompt: Disappear
A bird
sitting
in a tree.
Singing songs
for you
and me.
Be quick
to see his
fluffy bum,
Or you will
miss
the fluffy bum,
From the tree
where
he appeared,
And now
the bird
has disappeared

Sleeve
The daily Post word prompt: Sleeve
Hanging.
a Paris market
You caught my eye.
I turned.
you waved.
the wind caught
your sleeve.
I smiled
I caught the moment
Something special
between us two.
I walked on.
You.
Sill hanging
in a Paris market.

The Owl
I sit alone
the night envelops.
Perhaps
someone will scurry.
I watch,
I wait,
Soon to swoop.
Watching.
Waiting.
To you
darkness,
To me
I see.
Grass seeds sway
Someone is away
Furry and grey
No longer alone.
I swoop.
Dinner.
Delivered.

Lines in Nature
The Daily Post word prompt: Lines
Look about.
Lines are everywhere
Lines up
Lines down
Lines around
Lines within
Lines without
Look about.
Look up. Bangalow Palm flowers are about to burst forth – with bonus bee.
Look down. The moss is seeding
Look within. The Rose showing her splendor
Look without. A Spangled Drongo whose lines may shimmer
Look around. Spiders webs are all around.
Look up. The sky is full of lines
My original idea of lines, down the hall and up the stairs. Just had to bung it on at the end

Heat
Franks Tuesday Photo Challenge: Heat
The end of the day.
Setting sun.
Feel the heat
wash over
The intensity
of the sky,
Burning
through the trees.
The Suns fire
absorbing the air,
Taking the sky,
melting the clouds.
Thoughts drift,
Heat takes
its toll,
At the end of the day.

Water Dragons – Free and Easy
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Free and Easy
What could be more free and easy than a Water Dragon.
Being young and free
to climb a tree
Feeling relaxed in your bones
laying on the warm stones
Showing your colours and funk
just hanging on a tree trunk
Free and easy – need proof?
sunning yourself on the roof
Here I am easy and free
the laughs are on me

Fingers and Strings
The Daily Post word prompt: Fret
And the band played on,
a tune they loved.
Concentration
They finished the chorus,
into the second verse.
Relaxed
Looking at each other
as they became as one
Smiles
The music flowed
from their hearts
Together
And the band played on
