Yay Or 'Neigh'?

 

I laugh in the teeth of danger,
as long as there's hay in my manger.
Drop by anytime, and it will be fine.
I like to say 'Hi' to a stranger!

Here are my 140 characters for the Grandma's Goulash picture above!

Tongue Tied?

Fun Thoughts For A Monday Morning

Tess gave us another B & W photo to set our imaginations going this week, as befits that black and white Magpie bird which figures in her blog title. I tend not to see things in black and white, so here's where my Friedlander photo details took the Jinksy mind...

DON'T JUMP!

A king in his palace, a pig in his sty
each have the same distance
between them and the sky!

Water Music

Colour me blue in shades of rain or sky

when clouds scud in window-painted reflections

on clear, glass-green panes of light, and rills

of singing water rush a stream of music

in waterfall cascades about my ears;

liquid thoughts to flow and feed the muse

who waits in arid expectation of life

filled to the brim with their soft sounds…

A muted colour palette for Poetry Jam  who asked us to colour our lives.

Dingbat!

I hereby declare that my animal name
has to be one which is more of a game-

an imaginary creature you won't find for real!
I know, I'm a  Dingbat! That's a name with appeal.

The ding of my bell is as good as a song,
and with bat ears to listen how could I go wrong?

My bat wings can glide with a sense of direction
which is second to none, thanks to sonar detection.

If I hang upside down I can then be objective,
for I'm sure it may help me see life in perspective.

'Down' can be 'Up' in the blink of an eye -
with a flap of my wings, the  limit's the sky!



At  IGWRT, Fireblossom asked for our inside animal to emerge, but mine is trapped in the imagination, as is every true Dingbat since time began...
