The Word of the Day is Destination and it reminded me of the following wise words…
"Life is a journey where our destination's known but our path is not." - Kristian Fogarty 22nd August 2021

It’s that time of year again
When thoughts turn to something tasty
And despite the summer rain,
We’ll be merry but not so hasty.
We’ve been through a year so tough
But keep smiling for goodness sake,
Sometimes it felt we’d had enough
But where there’s love, there’s often cake.
For that’s how we show we care
We get together, drink tea and bake.
And in addition to the food we share
It’s more love that we will make.
Rather Silly Rhymes – A Limerick
Said the Kingpin to Miss Golightly
“you look dirty and rather unsightly
And It’s rather a strain
Seeing you again and again,
Why don’t you attempt bathing nightly?”
This Limerick was written in response to the following word prompts:

A Silly Limerick – A Schmo named Joe.
There once was a schmo named Joe,
Who was often thought of as slow,
But he was misunderstood,
Shy but under rateably good
So, was Joe really a slow schmo?
No!
A Limerick – A Gift
Esther Chilton has posted a challenge to write a limerick with the word GIFT.
Click on the link to her post below to take part in her challenge:
and here is my attempt:
The other day I received a gift,
I thought would give me a much needed lift
but when opened, I saw
it was actually for next door
and Boy!, was I really miffed!

Snow – Haiku
The Word of the Day is SNOW, and I thought it was time for this post to have another airing. 🙂

Snow is falling now
Will it keep me trapped inside?
Or set my soul free?

A thief called time
There is no greater thief than time
it takes from us our very breath
while we whittle away those moments sublime,
we’re one step closer still to death.

Limerick Woes – A Playful Limerick and a Terrible Poem
I thought I would enter Chelsea Owens Terrible Poetry Contest, which this week is to write a Limerick:
Here is the link to her post:
The Weekly Terrible Poetry Contest 3/14 – 3/20/2020
I thought I’d try a Limerick,
It sounded fun, a lark, a kick,
but please take my advice
and always think twice
because now I’m feeling quite sick.
This poem was written for the Word of the Day Word prompts: Limerick, Advice and Kick

A Final Call – A Poem for Kira’s Sunday Scribbles
Of care and nurture, there is a dearth,
Though some instil some peace on earth,
But indecision from government’s elect,
May mean there’s not much Earth left to protect.

Amelia Rose’s Day – a little poem.
Dear Little Amelia Rose,
Tomorrow is your day
You’ll be the envy of all your friends,
But not in a jealous way.
You’ll have to sacrifice your usual fun,
To stay so neat and glistening,
Because scuffed knees are just not done,
When at your Christening.
