"YOU BRIGHTENED UP MY DAY"

 

I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THE MOON SO BRIGHT LAST NIGHT.

NOTHING MUCH WAS STIRRING IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS TRANQUILLITY I COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE.

ALL THE TIMY RIPPLES WERE HEADING FOR THE SHORE.

I THOUGHT ABOUT A GRAPHIC WHICH WAS JUST LIKE THIS SCENE.

SO I GOT IN TOUCH WITH DONNA AS ON HER BLOG I'D SEEN.

THE GRAPHIC I REMEMBERED I THOUGHT WOULD SUIT MY RHYME.

SO I QUICKLY SENT AND E. MAIL TO ASK IF SHE HAD TIME.

TO MAKE ME ONE WITH KATH ON I NEVER THOUGHT I'D HEAR.

BUT TODAY RIGHT IN MY MAIL BOX THE GRAPHIC DID APPEAR.

I WAS OVERJOYED AND FILLED WITH EMOTIONS OF DELIGHT.

OF THIS BEAUTIFUL GRAPHIC NOW SIGNED WITH NAME IN SIGHT.

HOW KIND IS THIS DEAR LADY SHE'S WORTH HER WEIGHT IN GOLD.

FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL GRAPHICS SHE MAKES FOR YOUNG AND OLD.

SO HERES A PERSONAL THANKYOU FROM ME ASTORIASAND.

"COUNTING THE DAYS"

  

I CAN FEEL THE NIP APPROACHING IN THE AIR TONIGHT.

COUNTING DAYS TO  SEPTEMBER IN MY SIGHT.

SHORTER DAYS AND LONGER NIGHTS.

LIGHTS AFTER TEA SOON TWINKLING BRIGHT.

COLD CHILLY EVENINGS AND THE HUSTLE WILL HAVE GONE.

FAIRGROUND DISMANTLED SOON NO RIDES TO SIT UPON.

LEAVES FALLING FAST ON THE PAVEMENT AHEAD.

FROM HANGING BASKETS TROUGHS AND ALL THE GARDENS LOOKING DEAD.

I'LL BE WRAPPED UP WARM WITH THE HEATERS ON FULL.

CLOUDS IN THE SKY AND ALL LOOKING DULL.

THE GULLS WILL HANG AROUND ALL UPON THE GROUND.

LOOKING ROUND FOR SCRAPS WHATEVER CAN BE FOUND.

THE OCEAN WAVES ARE ROUGH AS THEY ROLL TO THE SHORE.

THE PLEASURE BOATS MOORED FOR THE AUTUMN ONCE MORE.

THE FISHING BOATS DEPARTING OUT OF SIGHT.

TO GATHER UP THERE CATCH IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT.

KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL SUMMERS OVER WITH A  FROWN.

AS THEY HAVE TO LEAVE THE SEASIDE MY HOME TOWN.

WHEN SEPTEMBER COMES AROUND WINTERS SOON ON IT'S WAY.

BUT I STILL LOVE ALL THE SEASONS IN THERE OWN WONDROUS WAY.

 

"SCARECROW TIME" IN THE VILLAGE.

GOOD MORNING BLOGGERS,

I WAS TAKEN FOR A RIDE LAST NIGHT FOR A CHANGE OF SCENE.

ALONG TO THE NEXT SMALL VILLAGE WHERE I HAVE OFTEN BEEN.

I WAS PEERING THROUGH THE WINDOW,WHEN STOP!!!!!  I SHOUTED CLEAR.

I SPOTTED IN  A GARDEN  A SCARECROW STANDING THERE.

I QUICKLY GOT MY CAMERA OUT TO SNAP HIM FOR MY RHYME.

WHEN A LADY THEN APPROACHED ME AND SAID IT'S SCARECROW TIME.

THERE'S PLENTY MORE AROUND HERE IF YOU CIRCLE ROUND THE ROUTE.

BY THE TIME YOUV'E GOT THEM ALL ON THERE YOU'LL HAVE FILMSHOW SHOOT.

OH! LOVELY I REPLIED TO HER THANX AND OFF WE WENT.

LAUGHING THINKING HOW THESE FOLKS HAD TAKEN TIME AND SPENT.

MANY HOURS SEWING TO PLEASE THE PASSES BY.

PLACEING THEM WHEREVER TO CATCH THE TRAVELLERS EYE.

SHE TOLD ME MANY OF THEM HAD BEEN MADE BY CHILDREN SMALL.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO WONERFUL THOUGH I COULDN'T SNAP THEM ALL.

SIXTY IN THE COLLECTION SOME REALY WERE LIKE LIFE.

ONE MAN SAID MINES NOT OF FAME IT'S SIMPLY MY DEAR WIFE HA!

I THEN JUST STARTED LAUGHING I WAS FULL OF GLEE.

WHEN I READ THE SIGN UPON IT WHICH SAID REAL ONE SHE IS FREE. HA.

I LEFT HIM IN HYSTERICS AND CARRIED ON DOWN THE LANE.

THE MEMORY ON MY CAMERA FAILED OH! IT IS A PAIN.

I MIGHT GO BACK ANOTHER EVE TO PLACE MY VOTE FOR BEST.

CAMERA CLEARED AND THEN I'LL SEE IF I CAN SNAP THE REST.

SO MY LITTLE BREAK PROVED FRUITFULL CHEERED ME UP NO END.

SO HERE THEY ARE I'M SHARING THEM BEST WISHES I DO SEND.

TAKE CARE BLOGGERS HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED THEM.

(FOR THOSE IN USA THESE ARE TAKEN FROM SOME OF OUR TV PROGRAMS).LOL!!!
