24 Hour Poetry Competition - Subject: Home and Garden

[katydidthat]

OK, another poetry competition ... original poems welcomed, poems written by others are accepted.  

The winner will be decided by kudos received, there will be also be a Judge's Prize decided by the judge.  The judge is ME.  

I hate my little unit,

The layout is quite stupid

The sound of traffic going past

Might make me quite insane at last. 

The neighbours mow their lawns

At seven in the morns

And all of them choose a different day

To take my sleep away.

Hey  hang on,   wait for me .......  have to put in one of

Will Shakespeare which I love  

I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight;

Thanks, Bluecat and TGSE ...

One of the things I like about poems is the ability to express so much in so few words.

Falling to the ground,

I watch a leaf settle down

In a bed of brown.

The Judge's Choice is tied between TGSE and Bright.ton.

A Special Mention to flygal 🙂

Joono ... I think we need to have a cooking in the kitchen poetry challenge thread next 🙂

I loved your Fathers Day one Katy.  It did remind me of my dad and the beetroot that he was so proud of.  He died last year but his garden is still carefully tended by his wife now.

Thanks, Joono.

Wonderful memories we have of our Dads.
