Summer colour

Holly hocks ball
Ruby red holly hocks,
Silk swirling frocks,
Mingling at the summer ball.
A scented breeze,
Timely sends bursting buds to
Rest upon the lawn.
Purposely the lover places them in
A wicker box, ties it tight with forget-me-nots;
With red rose ink he pens
‘Holly meet me tonight at the folly’.
The story begins.
Summer colour in the cottage garden
The above link to my Lavendermoongirlsbrownharecottage wp site will take you to where the inspiration came from for this poem and photo and will give you more insight into my cottage garden.
Poppy walk
Sunny morning,
Swifts soaring;
Dog rose scented air.
Maiden’s garlands,
wedding bells afar.
Harebells & summer fairs
Dancing campions,
Wild flower champion
The scarlet poppy!
Dreamy Meadow
Lazily, toe by toe,
Treading on wispy grasses;
Soft silk bed of fresh miniature flora.
Soaring high –
Skylarks, their
Singing lingers like lover’s whispers
Before vanishing through dreamy vapours.
Cow parsley’s filigree fountains
Shower the wake of Ox Eye daisies.
Hazy white petals slightly dazed,
Enjoy sherbet scented kissing wind.
Welcome to my Art Studio
I’m so excited to have my own home garden Art Studio. I think my husband is happy to see my art equipment leave the house and enjoys visiting me making art. When he’s having a brwak from gardening or from working in his greenhouse, we chat about the day’s progress over a cup of tea or Gin and Tonic!
Pop over to my Lavender Moon Girl’s Tales from Brown Hare Cottage wp blog for more photos.

Wild briar rose
Wild briar rose,Sun soaked face,
Petals as sheer as fine lace;
Like a dancer on tip toes
Wearing silky pink bows,
Silently pirouetting.
Suddenly a brazen breeze
Brings a helter shelter of
Hawthorn mizzle.
She shelters under a petal glaze
Forlorly marooned in scented dew.
Amazing alliums
Amazing alliums,
Purple blazing pom poms
Like a summer Starry sky.
Gazing at the trailing constellation,
Warmed by satiated petal faces.
These gorgeous alliums are enjoying their performance in our newest border; an explosion of deep magenta, so structural and yet delicate and elegant.
Lacy Lilac
A drift of lacy
Lilac mingled with purple;
Unfurling tiny
Twirling petals, butterflies
Sit on pungent pillows.
Replenishing Rapeseed
Rapeseed replenishes,
Energises.
Clouds of buttery yellow billow;
Brimstones and Commas drenched
In honeyed pollen,
Wings tilting elegantly
Dancing in sunshine.
Unfortunately those gorgeous delicate butterflies won’t linger long enough! But it is wonderful to watch them.
Rapeseed oil I hear is very good for us, especially if it is cold pressed. It can help painful joints.
Happy Easter all! 🙂
The troubadour
The troubadour seeks hellibores
As his muse,
He visualises a heart wreath made of
Velvet warm petals, meek rose pink
Twinkling flowers and snow whites in fine fettle:
A delicate meander of pattern and colour.
From his medieval stone garret,
He weaves his words of love and valour.
