Friday's Poem and Other Stories

Good Evening :)

This post will be a bit of a 'hotch-botch' tonight, but hotch-botches are good things so it's all ok ;)

 I thought I'd share with you a few pics of the donkeys I see sometimes on my morning 'walkies' with the dog, but I was only sufficiently pleased with one of said 'pics' to post it! I can assure you though, all three of them  (the donkeys that is) are adorable :) I've been in love with the creatures ever since I had a summer job helping with donkey rides at the seaside as a little girl.

Some other recent photos which came out half-decent-ish :)

this plucky little rose was in full bloom in December

The sun absolutely illuminating the town across the bay

I chose the best (in my own humble opinion) of my ever growing collection of 'inspiration-snaps' to post here tonight. The ones with the most atmosphere. Most of these weren't actually even taken with 'photography' as such, in mind, it was more a matter of 'oh that's pretty/ interesting/' and 'snap!' :) I'm especially fond of the silhouetted trees against that mucky-looking sky :)

 '1' and '2' were taken this morning on a very windy morning stroll. The sun was shining so brightly, and then all of a sudden the wind whipped-up the clouds and it went all half grey-half golden, it was exciting :)

 But to the crux of the matter and today's poem. Having almost completed my week, I think I've done ok. I was more pleased with some than I was with others but it's all experience and I have stuck to my deadlines (so far!) I couldn't keep it up much longer than a week at the moment I don't think, but it may well be something that reoccurs from time to time, we'll see :) Well here goes for this evening:

Tired This Evening

'Tired this evening,

Got nothing to say,

Not easy,

Thinking of new things each day.

Weary this evening,

Been doing so much,

Writing and snapping,

And singing and such.

Always got so many,

Things on the go,

It's the best way to live life,

I find, don't you know.

Making, creating,

My own 'show and tell',

And hopefully others,

Will like it as well.

But time to recharge,

As I put me to bed,

So many ideas,

Floating 'round in my head.

And tomorrow will dawn,

I will wake up and then,

I will start the whole journey,

All over again!'

But a girl's still gotta keep house! And even cleaning deserves to be photo-documented sometimes ;)

A Poem a Day

A poem a day

'A poem a day is a beautiful way,

To pass the time lingering between us,

Few words on a page, and I'll mean all I say,

For the words on the page will mean our love.

The pencil on paper, the ink pen on leaf,

Or most probably type on a screen,

But sure as it is,  albeit keyboard inks thief,

They'll be the prettiest letters you've seen.

So fret not nor pine for me, as I'll be right here,

In writing, each day, long as I might,

To love you oh and to comfort you dear,

Before you know, I'll be holding you tight.'

Hey there :)

So This week I thought I'd endeavour to write and post a poem each day, starting today, until Sunday. 

 Now I'm not professing to be much of a poet at all, but nevertheless, I'd like to practise and by way of posting a few littles ditties on here, I think I may improve. Besides it's fun!

 The one above I wrote a few days ago and is a kind of introduction, and the one below I have written just today, enjoy :)

The Mountains are Beautiful Today

'The mountains are beautiful, through the mist and the haze,

Their golden- red hue in the distance,

The fresh air is humid,  in my early morn's daze,

But the mountains are beautiful today.

The sunshine's arriving, after a dull and dense start,

Brightening our afternoon's prospects,

As the day slowly wakes up, I return from the park,

And the days occupations begin.

Work starts today, it's all go, go, pay, pay,

But the mountains remind to keep clam,

And when duties abound, the time passes away,

Quicker than ever it did before.

And the mountains are beautiful today,

And the mountains are beautiful,

Today.'

The Saturday Tree Project

Woooo! A blog :D

I'm very excited to be taking my first steps into the 'blogosphere'. Today is a sunny day and I'm writing this lounging on my futon type thing (which is actually just an oblong cushion, and isn't actually mine!) Ha :)

 So, let's get straight into it, I'm full of ideas so here goes!

Firstly, it being Saturday I should probably tell you about The Saturday Tree project. This is a photography project I'm undertaking, in order to track the transition from winter to spring. I have a certain favourite tree in the local park which is my subject, and I'm taking a picture of it each week, from different perspectives and angles, playing around, learning and having fun :)

 You can see the first two weeks' pictures here: The Saturday Tree Project 

And here are today's (3 weeks)

beautiful golden-red leaves

Anybody know what type of tree this is?

And the early morning dew on my shoes :)

Merry Saturday!
