Like my bacon cooked crisp, quite well done
And my bread with a soft open crumb
Spread with butter for sure
Perfect misery cure
Bacon sandwiches always taste yum!

Just a trifle
I love jelly, cold custard and cream
Set as trifle with fruit, tastes a dream
Some use sherry-soaked sponge
But I don’t like that gunge
My dessert remains childlike, it seems!
Sundown
Sun sinks silently
Shimmering reflections glow
Shadows stretch and yawn
Pioneer Spirit
If you’re starting a journey with dread
And the road may look bumpy ahead
Know with each step you take
A new frontier you make
Channel pioneer spirit instead
New Beginnings
Lighting fresh candles
Yearning for new beginnings
Dying flames snuffed out
Eyes on the Prize
When the road ahead feels too obscure
And you’re wavering, quite insecure
Find an image to hold
In your mind, bright like gold
Keep your eyes on the prize and endure
Nothing Fancy
I must warn you, my poetry’s shit
Nothing fancy, I’m first to admit
Words fly round in my head
So I write them instead
Least they rhyme, though they’re lacking in wit!
The Joy of Art
Imagination
Conjuring magical things
Joyfully runs freeCreativity
Flows out through busy fingers
Colours bloom and blendLines and shapes expand
Race across each pristine page
Happily content
It’s been years since I wrote any haiku, so I’m definitely a bit rusty but Jill from ‘J-Dubs Grin and Bear It‘ has recently started a Haiku Friday challenge, so I thought I’d give it a go this week!
I’m not actually responding directly to either the posted image or Jill’s haiku, but took the idea of ‘imagination’ as my inspiration and wrote three linked haiku about making art, to be read in order.
They may not be great, but I’ve had really great fun writing them! 🙂
Nightmare
I just hate when I’m deep in a dream
Something scares me – I let out a scream
The sound comes out limper
No more than a whimper
A nightmarish recurring theme
L is for Limerick
Love a limerick – quick witty rhymes
Are so easy, just five little lines
They can almost be sung
As they trip off the tongue
Short and snappy, a sign of the times!
