Out of my window, are wondrous things,
Not just the ordinary, every day sights
Can I see beyond the mundane?
Yes, there stands a ferocious blue demon shaking his fist!
But he's made entirely of condensed water!
More water, more condensation?
NO- the battle of two wispy dragons!
Onwards we go.
No, that isn't a car park of cranes,
It's a crane rave!
Everyone raise one arm,
Let me hear you say Wa-yoooo!
On we go, not more cranes,
But a rainbow- in separate pieces
A memory of a childhood misconception.
An army of silent upright sentinels
Wait upon field for more commands.
I don't see wheelbarrow of thorny branches,
I see, in my mind's eye, that bliss of solitude,
Mum and I, battling against the invading army of roses
Who have been allowed to rule unvanquished in this garden.
I see the moment I was cornered by a Rose of no virtue,
Stabbed through the head by thorns, not in a crown.
I see brave Matriarch bravely beating back the Rose army.
We are victorious.
And I see many crowds of daffodils
Trumpeting upon sunny breeze.
My photos this week for Zoe at SplodzBlogz's Weekly Photo Challenge were a little boring to say the least, so I thought I'd write a little poem to go with them.With apologies to Wordworth for a slight phrase of deliberate plagiarism!
The prompt this week was 'Out of my window'
You can interpret which part of the poem goes with which picture. But all of them are views out of my window.
You've still got time to join in with the challenge- you can join in on Instagram on or on your blog with the hashtag, #SplodzWPC
What's out of YOUR window?
See you!

Wonderful poem, Kezzie! I like your views.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pom pom!!! xx
DeleteWhat an imagination you have Kezzie. Even tiding up the gardens is a big adventure. I'm so glad you got out victorious. I'll be thinking of you when I tackle my rose bushes. lol.
ReplyDeleteI see a fire breathing winged dragon in that last photo.
Have a beautiful day.
Hugs,
JB
Thank you Julia! I am very grateful for my imagination! I think life must be hard without it!!!
DeleteHa, ha, yes think of me! I just got attacked by the wheelbarrow of thorns as I went out in the dark to go and empty my compost caddy into the large compost heap! My not-so-gallant husband was too wimpy to go out into the dark and empty it!!
YES, that is INDEED the dragon, but do you see the head of the one it is fighting!?!?x
Great post, Kezzie. I don't think Wordsworth would mind a bit! I have beauty and beasts outside my window.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I hope he doesn't mind. I spent last week memorising his Daffodils, so I hope he appreciates that it has remained in my mind!x
DeleteSometimes it's the simple things, isn't it? Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteSOoooo true Connie, so true!! Thanks x
DeleteSuch a fun little poem. I just adore your mind, dear! So clever and sweet.

Thanks Shamu, that is kind coming from a great poet suchas you!
DeleteLOVE the poem! Is there no end to your many talents?
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you! Yes, there is a limit- I am rubbish at reading maps, following origami instructions and I can't drive!!
DeleteI enjoyed the poem and also the views from your window.
ReplyDeleteThink my favourite one was the garden!
All the best Jan
Thank yoU! I love my garden!
DeleteCool poem. Loving the crane rave...poem and photo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the rose army was beaten back beautifully. i'm sure they'll thank you this summer.
Outside my window I have a pile of plants in plastic bags to be planted, and a gorgeous Autumn sky!

Yes, my husband and I always do beat-box rave music when we pass the Crane party, EVERY time we drive pas there!!!
