Out of my window

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!

Three




Splodz Blogz Weekly photo challenge at Splodzblogz

This is a new challenge for 2016 started by Zoe at Splodzblogz.  Every Thursday, Zoe is posting a prompt which we/you/she will post a photo or photos on the subject. A bit like the Scavenger hunt but weekly and one prompt/theme.  I thought this sounded good- I like repetition so I thought I'd have a go at joining in this week.

So the word was "Three".


3 black keys on the keyboard.
Three Elizabeth Shaw mint crisps. OOooh, whoops, where did that one go!??!!
3 mini shot/cocktail glasses (intriguing wedding present)
A few in here.  12/8 is a triple metre time signature- the 12 quavers divide into 4 sets of 3 quavers.  Every beat here is worth 3 beats and at the end, you can see 3 quavers.
A choice of 3 ticket machines at my local station.
3 delicious poppy seed rolls reduce in Waitrose to 7p each. Wish they'd been 3p each for cohesion!

It's great fun, so why not join in! Head over to Zoe to find out more!
