Fly away with me
Over the stark moon,
Far beyond the
Darkening trees
Where wee fae lark
Playing tunes on
Silver spoons:
Whilst three cloaked
Folk cast runes.
“Don’t stray
Where amber eyes
Prey”.
There in the shadows
Crones moan and cackle
And bones rattle
Below in the gallows.
mermaids shake
In the shallows.
Weird sallow worms
Wake as the cauldron
Quakes;
Feared fakes
Tumble,
Crumble,
Spit and bake.
This week’s daily post photo challenge has Iinspired me to think of a favourite album and to create my own cover art. My choice of album is Enya’s ‘The memory of trees’. If you don’t know it I can thoroughly recommend Enya’s effortlessly relaxing music. I often play ‘The Memory of trees’ when I’m practising daily yoga, meditating, writing or just enjoying relaxing. I enhanced my shot with ‘Pics art’ editing tools to hopefully give that dreamy quality and remind me of autumn. I hope you like it. Below is the link to many more entries.

What is your favourite time of day?
I love to walk through the meadow on a bright early morning because I feel it is such a special and magical time to experience nature. The delicate intoxication of wild honeysuckle rambling through a hedgerow, a skylark diving or the delicate autumnal jewels dangling on hogweed cobwebs enrich my world.
Sunsets are special too. As the rippling silken sky succumbs to darkness my musings begin.
How do you spend a rainy day?
Rainy days still have their fascination. Out come the wellies and waterproofs and off we go to watch the inky clouds rumble, clash and spit spreading like the inkblot I love to analyse and use as a prompt to a poem or a character in a story. Later after hot tea and toast I seek solace in an old secondhand paperback.
When writing by hand do you prefer to use a pen or pencil?
I like to use a good roller ball pen or drawing pen because the writing flows effortlessly.
Bonus question. What are you grateful for from last week and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am eternally grateful for my dog walker who has walked my dogs when my back was very sore. This week I am looking forward to feeling better and enjoying this extraordinary mild sunny autumn.

This photo challenge gave me the opportunity to focus on a photographic autumnal medley of shots taken on my recent walks as summer faded and the moist musty mornings came in abundance, with jewelled spider webs and bright fruits dangling with illuminated raindrops.
I hope you enjoy my medley. Spot a little friend working hard on a ‘summery’ day.

For the autumnal
Pixie fair,
Prix one rain drop
for a rare night of
phantasmagoric delight.
Trick or dare!
Lanterns flare.
Beware of
The Wixee Lixy’s
glare!
I couldn’t resist this shot of the cat reclining on the balcony, enjoying the sunshine. We were walking our dogs along the Grand Union canal at Berkhamstead, a lovely English town full of interesting shops, architecture, history and a canal and railway going through it.
Thanks to Sue Llewellyn for inspiring me with her word a week photo challenge.
After heavy rainfall, stalking a shot, I found myself in the protection of this great tree, where light refraction was magically happening as the autumn sunshine filtered through the canopy.So beautiful.

Refraction
Ravishing Lavender,
Rosy mauve,
Tickling noses,
Tantalizing tints
Of Pistachio, mint
And palest lawn cotton:
A lemony memory
Never forgotten.
For miles
The meadows are frayed and
faded
Like antique millinery and worn
Linen upholstered chairs.
Tearing through mournful layers
Serendipitously,
Yellow, playful
Dayglo
Trefoils romp
In the pasture,
Lightening,
Brightening,
As an Oxeye daisy
Lazily looks on.
