Short and sweet! Been experimenting.

Beautiful Heather - lifts the spirits straight away - wattle prompted????

Short, sweet, yes and also very descriptive.


Wattle you think of next ???

Excellent , Heather I'm most impressed. It makes you want to read it over again and again like a little happy chorus.

Lovely little Poem Heather.

I replied to this last night but my post has disappeared again, could it be gremlins?

I knew you'd get it Neville.

Thanks all for your kind comments. I'll let you into a little secret. I was experimenting/playing around with a poem I wrote a week or so ago and also looking at Henry Kendall's Bellbirds and decided that I could make something else out of some of the lines - and then added a couple, changed a couple - you know how it goes! I was trying to cut out the "and" and "a's". Below is the original. Both basically the same material (one shorter obviously) but using a different way of presenting it.

I'm finding that I like to write poems that can describe with fewer rather than more words.

Well, it keeps me off the streets....

Maureen, wattle and apple blossom prompted. I'll find a picture of the apple blossom from last year. She's in bud now - can't wait!

Must be a BBBBBIIIIGGGG Tree.

It's a magnificent tree Bob. It was here when we came and didn't grow for years and years until I eventually threatened to take it out and then it grew almost overnight! In the summer it provides a lovely spot to sit in the shade. In spring it has the most gorgeous blossom. It also provides the bees with nectar and the birds a safe place to hide. The bird bath sits under it. Glad I didn't pull it out.

An oldie but a goodie hey Marty!
