    Frazzled to a crisp
    In the fierce summer sun.
    Behind shutters we're wilting;
    drought's also no fun.
  • Once again, ML,
    Your plums are here
    I'm tasting sun
    From over there.

    Here’s a virtual hug
    From me to you.
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host

    Roses are red
    Snowdrops are white;
    They're out in my garden -
    A heart-warming sight.

    (The snowdrops are out, that is. Not the roses.)

    I really don't mind
    But is there a chance
    You may be colour-blind?
  • Roses are red
    that's back to what's right
    There are plenty of things
    wrong with my sight.
  • Red roses are hardest
    For me to see
    Violets blue though
    Are just right for me!

    Roses might not be red
    or skies always blue
    abandon that rhyme scheme
    spike it up green, orange, nut-brown, zebra, brindle or zoo!

    And the trees all stay up!

    We all kept safe
    I hope you did too
  • NenyaNenya All Saints Host, Ecclesiantics & MW Host

    Thirty-six years today. :smile:

    Tulips are red,
    Forget-me-nots blue,
    The ones I’ve just drawn
    Look like elephants too.
  • Lily PadLily Pad Shipmate
    Elephants, grey.
    So big. So cute.
    Forget-me-nots?
    I'm confused. Mute.

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue.
    Wouldn't they look more
    Like elephant poo?

    Blue is the violet
    White is the May.
    I hope all involved
    Have a good Mothers' Day.
