SWEET PETE

 this little boy

gave me a pot of mauve blue hydrangeas

on the weekend

time has passed

santa has since turned into a garden gnome

sweet pete hasn't travelled quite as well

still looking for his  spot in the plot

Wordle # 266 MLMM

pose dust eminent jewel listen impartial society noiseless unnatural furtive clues glitter

 

 

 

 

 trophy wives with those painted on unnatural eyebrows 

glance furtively around to check out the competition

flashing smiles pretending  to listen intently to others 

engage in trendy impartial conversation

 pose with glittering jewels at society events

 

 all attached to rich eminent professionals 

they don't dust or do anything domestic 

have perfected the art of  noiseless bathroom activity

 just wax dolls who don't have a clue about anything too much

 bed and books

you can't beat that

my idea of luxury

 

farewell father

i will miss you

i am not going far

i will be careful not

to drag the family name in the mud 

or get strangled by a mass murderer

i have looked after myself

since i was seven anyway

ill be safe because i will be living

in the shadow of a cathedral 

mesa gonna be ok

 

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Moving to Santa Fe" by Mary Morris: beat, bed, books, father, farewell, far, mud, mesa, miss, strangled, seven, shadow

whales beach themselves sometimes

no one knows why

one could assume that this group of spectators

has much in common with them

it's never too late

to realise a dream of conducting

the sea symphony orchestra 

 

   

 

party time

beats the bush barn dance

in the outback

edouard cortes painted

rich warm wonderful parisian scenes

never fails to evoke a gasp

 

popular with art thieves

one turned up in a thrift shop

in Maryland

oz without our sleepy bears

would be  like

a sky without stars

a world without sunshine

 

 

SAVE OUR KOALAS

 

 

 

THANK YOU!!

 ladies from the Netherlands

making mittens for the burnt paws

of the koalas in last summers bush fires

and to all the other young men

for your sacrifice 

to keep the world free for us

our little billy bears

are in danger  of extinction

their habitat destroyed by greedy developers

and horrendous bush fires occuring

because of climate change and poor  fire control management

oz without  koalas

is like a sky without stars

a world without sunshine

our dear little bears must be saved

somehow and soon

 

 

THANK YOU LADIES FROM THE NETHERLANDS !!!
