Creatures of the Back Yard

They are strange and rusted
Quite possibly really busted
Those little peculiar creatures
Of my own back yard

It’s all part of nature
Despite the man made feature
Those little odd beasties
Of my own back yard

You really got to love them
They may be impure gems
Those little strange beings
Of my own back yard

October Day in Suburbia

Photography and Poetry

“The fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light” Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola

October Day in Suburbia

The sun was beckoning
Behind the closed window shades
The outside warm and welcoming
Blue skies and colours splayed
On the tableau drawn by nature
Quite the creator
Of beauty and awe
Almost dropped my jaw
When I stepped outside
And stared with pride
