then add a single word to your post for next player. I'll start:

Lovely sun at last
I'll need sunglasses to drive
Oh no! Where are they?

Apples

One, two, three, four, five
Once I caught a fish alive
Now they are fingers

Crayons

AliasGrape · 02/06/2021 09:30

At primary school
Tub of crayons per table
Never any red

Toys

Clawdy · 02/06/2021 12:21

They have all gone now
Star Wars figures, Lego, cars
Wish they were still here.

Clock

CaptainCallisto · 02/06/2021 12:45

Tick tock tick tock tick
But where's the tock? It's broken!
Time is standing still

Leaves

CandyLeBonBon · 02/06/2021 13:03

Leaves, like love, can fade.
But the new shoots of spring
yield fresh hope again.

Water

HunkyPunk · 02/06/2021 14:00

Ribbon of water
Snaking through the towns and fields
Heading for the sea

Stone

CandyLeBonBon · 02/06/2021 14:27

The smell of dry stone
after summer rain falling
Is called petrichor

Sofa

AliasGrape · 02/06/2021 19:59

Not the smartest move
New sofa with a baby
So many fluids!

Owl

Ostara212 · 02/06/2021 21:13

Guardian of the night
Harbinger of whatever you think
The owl is always majestic

Paradox

CandyLeBonBon · 02/06/2021 21:17

That I am lonely
in a room full of people,
Is a paradox

AliasGrape · 03/06/2021 09:53

AliasGrape · 03/06/2021 09:53

guffaux · 03/06/2021 12:09

wanting to be profound

goldfinch

CandyLeBonBon · 03/06/2021 12:21

High in its branches
The goldfinch flutters yellow,
Protecting her eggs

Punch

Clawdy · 03/06/2021 12:46

Strange little puppet
Alone and lost forever
Judy has gone now

Perfume

AliasGrape · 03/06/2021 15:09

@CandyLeBonBon wasn't meaning to sound demanding either!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 03/06/2021 16:13

In the perfume hall
A plethora of fragrance
Which one shall I chose?

Shark

CaptainCallisto · 03/06/2021 16:28

Graceful, silent, fierce,
The shark slides through the water,
Killer on the prowl

Doughnuts
