Photo-a-Day  (Friday, 8th June, 2018)

A seat in a garden shaded by trees
Surrounded by flowers and the buzzing of bees.

You've done it again Ron..that's a beautiful shot..you've certainly got an eye for pretty scenes.

Those benches look perfect for slumbering on a hot day. The scene puts me in mind of the gardener snoozing on the cover of Genesis' 'Selling England By the Pound' LP.

Lovely photo and this is a beautiful and peaceful spot, was in there yesterday.

Thanks Ron a lovely picture of my favourite place.

A typical English park from days gone by before they knocked all th eperimeter walls down and people felt safe. That was my first thought

A seat is a place
Where a vagrant can snooze
Falling asleep
Holding a can of booze!

Bonny dog.

I know what I like and I like what I know...

A beautiful photo again Ron. Thanks.

Keep your mowing blades sharp Dave.

Amateur Psychology.

Seek you healing from the sounds and harms
Of mobile phones and car alarms?
From cretinous music and sounding horns
That assault your soul like scourging thorns
Of barbed wire eardrops! And the grating trill of the
Satanic Scooter's piercing drill___
Plus horrors far too gross to mention
Than the infernal stench
Of the internal combustion engine?
Then relax, my friends,for hope is dawning,
But firstly folks a word of warning
That I am just a simple man
Without learning of psychological plans,
No expert analysis l have to offer.
No, Me! ' I'm just a lawn mower'.
But I do prescribe a trip to Haigh Hall,
To sit on a bench behind a wall
Away from all those dreaded pests
Amongst flowers and bees like DTease suggests.
Thus dipped in the sanctuous sea of the mind
Walled from turmoil, may you find
Here,solace from the screaming throng
Amidst the fluting Thrushes songs,
So seated from their modern hell,
I hope my friends __ it fares ye well.

The walled garden creeps into my dreams sometimes.

A tranquil and beautiful garden scene, thank you David.

As always Poet, you are pictorial in your poems. Lovely. I wish I could take a photograph like this and then describe it in such poetic words. You’re both very gifted.

A black loose dog on the grass a nightmare for bike riders

I suspect if you can't beat um join um.

I agree with Par, in fact you could say I am on a par with Par (cue groans from off).

DTease - pressed the send button before I finished typing my name, not ‘Par’ but Pat as above.

Appreciated your clever comment though. Don’t know how my Post was sent twice with a couple of hours’ delay in between.

Maureen has had us waiting for the “second coming” for a long time now.
