ROLL ON AUGUST

SHADORMA

 counting down

the days until spring

8 long weeks

cannot wait

winter woes and rainy days

 go away begone

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "The Peach" by Alice Friman: peach, sticky, sky, know, juice, corner, earth, numb, orange, ice, tend, disappear

 

 Paul Kelly Canadian Artist

 

 

she just wanted to disappear

numb herself to the pain

so she ran away

she'll drink orange juice 

sip iced tea

eat sticky date pudding 

go to the beach

enjoy the blue sky

explore the four corners of the earth

she knows she'll be OK

beautiful gals who look like a ripe peach

tend to land on their feet

THE PLIGHT OF THE AFRICAN VIOLET

 popular little plant

 grown in offices apartment and homes

no green thumbs needed

in danger of extinction

in their wild habitat

land clearing responsible

must we destroy

absolutely everything

 SHADORMA

it was nice

having her own bear

she felt safe

but sadly

the bear hugs and claws were more

than she could cope with 

living in the desert

best to make your own fun

or go quietly mad 

 

 

 

hello

what's this then

attention seeker

bushfire hazard

burnt sausages wont be

the only charred offering

on the menu

whenever he listens to wagner 

he is overcome with an incredible urge

 to conquer poland 

safer to light a small bonfire
