30 poems for April
April 2nd
A group of us in Bushy Park did walk
In twos and threes engaged in chatty talk
Two groups of deer were basking in the grass
unfazed by all the people walking past.
Ducks with their babies slowly floated by
while heron stood alone against the sky
A group of us in Bushy Park did walk
In twos and threes engaged in chatty talk
Two groups of deer were basking in the grass
unfazed by all the people walking past.
Ducks with their babies slowly floated by
while heron stood alone against the sky

Bone Monkey by Janet Sutherland
Her third collection published by Shearsman books. Bone monkey sits on the shoulders of men and women and all the poems in this collection are about him or seen through his eyes. The dark edges of life are explored in these lyrical pared to the bone poems, raw and exposed, displaying the sadness and pain of the human condition with vivid contrasts to both the beauty and the underbelly of the natural world. Her mastery of language is exquisite in it's understatement, painting vivid landscapes with a few brushstrokes. The clarity of expression fills me with awe and her creation of the bone monkey as her poetic muse is inspired. Her best collection yet.

Limerick
London is bursting with pride
during this Olympic ride.
Economic gloom
and tidings of doom,
as the crowds cheer,their fears put aside.

Seasons
seasons so swiftly change their hues around,
each has a wondrous beauty to bestow
in glory like a queen who's newly crowned.
plants spring,green shoots emerging from the ground
forget me nots in blue profusion grow
seasons so swiftly change their hues around.
midsummer and the thirsty lawns are browned
and roses bloom,their crimson shades aglow
in glory like a queen who's newly crowned.
leaves fall,red,golden, brown and swirling round
as autumn winds do fiercely gust and blow
seasons so swiftly change their hues around.
As winter's chill sweeps in with scarce a sound
and whiteness blankets all in sparkling snow
in glory like a queen who's newly crowned.
confounding or astounding,change abounds
life's patchwork pattern varies to and fro
seasons so swiftly change their hues around
in glory like a queen who's newly crowned.
I'm enjoying trying new poetry forms. This is my attempt at a villanelle and made it to the featured board of fifteen minutes of fiction. To craft with words in writing ,or attempting to write poetry is something I'm really enjoying .I'm also enjoying reading some great writing by other members of fifteen minutes of fiction.

A crafters garden
Fine wool would be displayed in abundance
in profusion of raggle tag bunches
alpaca,angora softly grazing
on grass grown for the animals lunches.
with spinning wheels whirring away in time
and plants in natural hues producing dyes
knitting and crochet needles are arrayed
in all sizes for a crafters desires
and felt grown in mats of all colourings
with silkworms making fine cocoons of silk
and books with a multitude of patterns
for reading with a glass of ice cold milk
my garden would be open for crafters
to help themselves to wool,and silks to sew
to crochet,knit,applique, embroider
to make amazing gifts for friends they know
