Lovely sun at last

Oh no! Where are they?

Relish last years sun
But now I have a garden
Rain is a constant

FelicityBeedle · 28/05/2021 00:32

Duvet

guffaux · 28/05/2021 00:32

sugar gliders dream
of free flight in the blue sky
not just bough to branch

hair

guffaux · 28/05/2021 00:35

...drat...too late, i will
have to hide in my hair or
under the duvet

FelicityBeedle · 28/05/2021 00:39

That did make me grin
That you were slow but so good
Me? Inadequate
Morning

WitchSharkadder · 28/05/2021 00:48

Morning has broken
Today will be rather shit
Wait til tomorrow

Crabs

MissingTheMoonlight · 28/05/2021 00:53

While red and shiny,
They're never easy to spot
Crabs hiding in shells

Lion

echt · 28/05/2021 01:09

King of the jungle
When in truth he's the idle slob
Of the savannah

Earache

Lizzie523 · 28/05/2021 01:09

One lion chosen
To rule the kingdom below
The circle of life

Triangle

CaptainCallisto · 28/05/2021 07:17

Hiding in bridges
Providing strength and structure
The triangle rocks

Turtle

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 28/05/2021 08:11

Come out of my shell?
I can't do that! thought turtle.
But I am not shy!

Just read back and saw
Balloon was used already
Here is a new word

Candle

Clawdy · 28/05/2021 08:27

Flickering dim light
Glowing there in the darkness
See me safely home.

Horses

Scarby9 · 28/05/2021 09:10

At the foamy edge
Along the briny shoreline
Three white horses race

Clock

OneSecond · 28/05/2021 09:30

Its tick a menace,
The clock is my nemesis.
I am always late.

Summer

RogueMNerKnowsNoShame · 28/05/2021 09:55

Yearning for summer
Sun on our backs. Warmth. Alas
Constant cold and wet.

Song

Clawdy · 28/05/2021 10:57

Sing me a sad song,
One to bring back memories,
Please don't sing that one.

Babies

CaptainCallisto · 28/05/2021 11:27

A sleeping baby
Milky dreams inside her head
Snuggled in her cot

CaptainCallisto · 28/05/2021 11:27

Fireplace

FelicityBeedle · 28/05/2021 12:57

Yearn for a fireplace
Flickering warming comfort
But the planet cries

Home

WutheringShites86 · 28/05/2021 16:22

A place of comfort
Solitude, safety and peace
We all need a home

Guitar

AliasGrape · 28/05/2021 16:36

Gallagher haircut
Brings his guitar to parties
Wonderwall again

Olives

HunkyPunk · 28/05/2021 16:48

Olives ripening
Now black in the sunny groves
Shaken into nets

seagull

WutheringShites86 · 28/05/2021 17:06

Salty sea spray wind
The chip thief extraordinaire
The seagull sweeps down

Noodles

FelicityBeedle · 28/05/2021 17:45

Noodles; simple meal
To nourish, comfort, and warm
I don’t feel the guilt

Fish
