Flowers of all Ages

Flowers, of all ages
Let them, out of their cages
And into the streets
They will be racing
But, there will be no chasing
To be honest,
I think we are much too lazy
So just sit back
And be content in praising

Flight

The seagull of the hood
Keeping guard over her domain
This may be the concrete wood
But the order must be sustained
If you get too close
Soon enough you will get a doze
On your head or shoulder
It will be quite a boulder
Of the bird’s arsenal
(Not going to the particulars)
So head this warning:
When the seagulls are swarming
Keep you distance
And you may survive the instance!

Amanda

The pretty little lady
Carved out of bronze
Curvy and naked
As cool as the Fonze
Despite over eighty
She’s none too shady

A Whole Lotta Going On

Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!

The tiny watery flakes
Covering all in their wake

“Never mind the wind and rain
You know me to be quite vain
I will always strike a pose
And deliver you the daily dose
So be prepared”
The plant declared
“I shall only do this once today!”

“Into each life some rain must fall” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Droplets

Like miniature optics
Formed with liquid
The translucent droplets
On the leaf and branch
Doing a slow dance
Watching, observing,
Falling into a trance

Dripping

“Drip drop, drip drop”
Like the sound of a ticking clock
The drops of rain kept falling
The steady rhythm me lolling
Into a deep slumber
“Yep, they really got my number!”

Reflection

A selfie of a different kind
On the reflection may be hard to find
But it was perfectly aligned
Into the droplet intertwined

Layers

Neatly stacked
All layers impacted
Phenomena temporary
But quite complimentary
