Sunflowers in pots,
Sit on the pavement,
They glow in the sun’s radiant light,
As they absorb its energy,
They’re an attractive sight,
As seen through the wine glass,
Mother sits facing them,
She smiles and sings knitting along,
Cheddar cheese lies on a plate beside,
My mother’s favourite,
My mother’s happy day.
I love to knit but knitting is complicated
technical and drastically mathematical
It is not like painting a sunflower-
nor tasty as cheddar cheese. it takes effort
then later comes ease.
Knitting must have a special space
Under an oak is absolutely fine
but never on a pavement or a line
I love to knit , maybe I would take my satchel
and sit on a platform bench
and knit a picturesque fabric, perhaps for a feline.
my brain immediately went to the “cheese” prompt from last year…anyone else?
I was actually thinking of that prompt when I chose that word pairing…..
😊 chosen word prompts are always my favourite.
Oooh, I like the idea of chosen words….
Chaotic Dog Eared Books
The ring from
your wine glass
left its prominent mark
of red saying
I was here
on your favourite
hardback book
Don’t books that have
stains tell the world
I have lived?
Like chaotic dog–eared
books facing up
towards the sun
where sunflowers
nod their gentle
heads of approval.
The Oak tree
rustles its old leaves
saying don’t worry about such things.
