Veiled nature

On Monday, I saw a beech tree standing tall and bold spreading its seeds around the ground like a cloud showering its raindrops.

On Tuesday, I heard a grand wood pecker, pecking away on a 1,000 year old oak tree as it’s slowly sways in the wind.

On Wednesday, I noticed a dragonfly dance over a water-road glistening in the blazing sun mixed with morning rain.

On Thursday, I watched a fire-fox appear out of its burrow to capture her prey

On Friday, I touched a baby rabbit as her birth-doe rubs her body against my leg.

On Saturday, I tasted a safe mushroom,as sweet as sugar cane dancing with roasted stinging nettles in my mouth.

On Sunday, I wondered about splats of yellow gorse prickling people and animals as they go by.

Mystic Doors

Carefully, go and open the pink door,

perhaps there is- 

a pig snorting rudely

candyfloss clouds dropping sweets like heavy hail

or delicious raspberries floating in mid air. 

 

Slowly, go and open the scarlet door,

perhaps there is-

a single, pretty, poison poppy, 

rose petals falling like leaves from an oak tree

or bushes of sour strawberries.

 

Excitedly, go and open the black door,

perhaps there is-

a bat on the cave top hanging like icicles,

a cow chewing the cud

or bin bags hopping like black bunnies. 

 

Quickly, go and open the yellow door, 

perhaps there is –

the sun clapping his hands, 

bananas swimming in the custard lake

or small stars reflecting on the river.

 

Anxiously, go and open the green door, 

perhaps there is –

mint ice cream freezing in the sunlight,

jumping frogs turning to swimming tadpoles

or fresh leaves flying through the air.
