In Tandem with Jinksy

 

guerrilla gardeners
came in the night
and transformed the bit of wasteland between our houses
into a colourful delight
of purples, blues and greens
and tufts of white

it brightens up our neighbourhood
even on a darker day
we hear the humming of the bees
and see the children play
now hopefully the council will not regulate
our own Guerrilla Garden of Eden away

The Bloggy Brilliant Jinksy provided us with yet another piece of wonderful artwork for inspiration and this is what I came up with. But please follow the link and visit all the other inspired people who no doubt came up with something much more poetic and wonderful. Be sure to go here for a great story and a good laugh.

Two in a tandem #9

 

the cool morning breeze
played with the curtains

made them dance
in summer’s sunrise colours

promising another golden day
to spend at the beach

she lay in her bed
just for one more minute

or maybe two

thinking
that the windows needed cleaning

 

The ever brilliant Jinksy provided yet another work of art to inspire us.

Two (and more) in a Tandem

 

The Emerald Belt

This isn’t a poem:

The Archipelago,
or large group of islands
that make up Indonesia,
is known as the Emerald Belt,
first named so by Dutch writer Multatuli,
pseudonym of Eduard Douwes Dekker (1820-1887),
who referred to Indonesia’s beautiful nature
and the numerous islands
the country consists of.

 

Did you know?

The artwork is provided by the ever brilliant Alias Jinksy,
who invites us to hop on her bicycle and write something if we feel inspired by it.

The always brilliant Jinksy made this painting and invited us bloggers to write something if they felt inspired.

 

 

she knew she was probably going too far
always colour coordinating her washing
when she hung it out to dry
but when she squinted her eyes
the sensible not so smalls, towels and sheets
became a wonderful painting
and suffering from this minor case of OCD
definitely made life more fun
