Creative Challenge 260 - Under the Forest Canopy

Under the Forest Canopy

When the Sun Burns down 

When the Breeze blows free

When the air is hot

There is only one place to be

Under the Forest Canopy

Green vistas greet the eyes

Tantalizing views of deep blue sky's

A forest glade 

Where tranquillity inspires 

Cool moist air caresses skin

Pleasure so deep it could be a sin!

Peace and Calm grow within

This must be the place where magic begins

CREATIVE CHALLENGE: MEMORY

A Memory

The things we did 

The things we would see

They really meant so much to me

Days gone by

As if a dream

Water flowing in a stream

The time we had

We made it last

Never dwelling in the past

The clock wound down

there was no chime

We just came to the allotted time

Your face each day I see

As if your still here with me

Alas its just a memory

Creative Challenge 257 - Fun!

Creative Challenge 256 - Natural

The Most Natural Thing

The smile on her face

The Most Natural Thing

It can make your soul fly

It can make your heart sing.

The morning delight 

That mischievous grin

A warm happy feeling

That starts deep within

No distance can mar

The pleasure she brings

That smile on her face

The Most Natural Thing

Creative Challenge 254 - At a snail's pace

At a snail's pace

Sun shines on a lazy day

Roses bask

Insects feed and play

Birds sing and wing away

Warm breeze brushes golden skin

Calmness comes from deep within

Worries seem to drift away

Heady scents all fears allay 

Work to be done

another day

At a snail's pace

The only way to enjoy this day

Creative Challenge #253 ~ Instrument

 The Instrument

There once was a time

So long ago

When from this Guitar

Sweet music would flow

A beautiful  Instrument

So slick in my hand

It held dreams of wonder

For me and the band

Fingers would drift 

across golden string

The music it made 

would make the heart sing

It carried me far 

across many lands

Making sweet Music,

 just me and the band

Time goes so fast 

As does come age

All memories now

The turn of the page

Fingers now stiff

They won't pay a bar

But they still feel the beauty

Of this old Guitar

The memories it conjurers

They carry me far

To a  time when you loved me

and this old Guitar

But time carried you away

ripped from my hand

and with you the music 

that flowed from my hand

Now there are just memories

Many stories at hand

We sit and we tell them 

Me and the band

On the porch at sunset

A beer in our hand

We trade those old stories 

Me and the band

The day will come soon

I will be back at your side

once more I will make music 

For my beautiful Bride

Creative Challenge 252 - In the beginning

In the beginning 

In the beginning 

Black, no blue skys

totally dark no food for the eyes

Then a shimmer of red 

So much a surprise

The dawn of each day

A treasure indeed

Solace for those 

who are in great need

The power of nature

an unfathomable thing

it can crush our soul

of make our hearts sing

This power at hand 

an omnipotent thing?

or the blind hand of Fate

The pendulums swing?

What ever your faith

Its a powerful thing

The wonder of Nature

and what it may bring.

Creative Challenge # 251 - Searching

Searching

Time came time went

Great distances I knew

Land and seas past beyond

But still I searched a new

So many roads I travelled

Friends met and made its true

In all the time and distance passed

I really never knew

In travel I was searching

for what I had no clue

But as I took this picture

It occurred to me, it was you!

Creative Challenge #250 - Twisted

Twisted

Lost  in time torn and twisted

Natures wroth long resisted

Cloaked in Green by moist night air

Broken twigs stretched wide in stark despair 

Snaking this way and that

Climbing high above natures mat

Harsh life long persisted

Through harshness have you long existed

In it all you have fought to be

In your life I see shades of me!

Knowlton

Knowlton

The Heritage plaque at the site says that the henge was constructed c. 2,500 B.C, consisting of a ring bank with two entrances and an internal ditch, 'probably intended for ceremonial use'. It is now realised that the Knowlton henge was only a single part of a larger 'sacred' prehistoric landscape, which was re-used for thousands of years, ending with the construction of the Norman church in the middle of the central henge in the 12th century AD.


'
Knowlton Rings' consists of 4 earthworks: the North Circle, Church Circle, Southern Circle, and the 'Old Churchyard'. In addition to these sites, to the east of the Church Circle is the Great Barrow, the largest round barrow in Dorset, and almost certainly directly related to the henges. (1) The most prominent site in the complex is the 'Church Circle', now commonly called Knowlton Henge.




The remaining henge was Christianised in the 12th century with the construction of the Norman Church in the centre of the central henge.




The Cowslip is an extremely well known and popular wild flower whose numbers declined dramatically between the 1950s and the 1980s.  



The Cowslip grows to a height of 20-30 cm when in full flower, with leaves that go up to 10-15cm.  It produces delicate yellow flowers 1-2cm, usually between March and May.  




Its preferred habitat is open grassland either slighly alkali or neutral in nature.  It also requires a generous amount of light in order to flower and is not successful in woodlands or under tall plants.
