Broad Stand.

Broad Stand Minor Climb,
If you suffer vertigo,
Mor like Brown Pants Time.

By Herakles.

[Harry H Howgill]

A classic. This is a favourite of mine.

What is this life if, full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

running up the hill
lips smart from icy kisses
of wind driven sleet


and

DT's


Harewood House Red Kite
gliding effortlessly by
no strings attached

There are some excellent haiku tonight.

[Harry H Howgill]

Sleepy daffodils
Push through snow to misty chill
They have second thoughts

Stealth bomber Buzzard
Low against the dark hillside
Crumples, drops to kill.

Thanks Mossy. It's taken several weeks to finish what's turned out to be ten words

Awwww. That's lovely

I thought my big boy (2 & 3/4) was going to swear for the first time yesterday. He was getting frustrated and tired on a walk when he turned to me, looked straight into my eye, and growled in anger, "you, you, you,............bumblebee!"
