Premium MemberShe Is Nature

She is Goddess of Day
Her first duty is to Dawn
She paints a pale peach skyway
Spills dew on the waiting lawn

Nature is her - she holds sway 
Over each flower, swan and fawn
Her's is the leafy archway
Mountain vistas yet un-drawn

Each Season she will obey
Eagerly waited upon.
Every elaborate bouquet
Our delight to chance there- on

From Summer's shady greenway
To Autumn's fiery walk-on
From Spring's brief flowery entree
To when Winter is long gone

She is Goddess of Day
We’re held forever by her song
Gifts we can never repay
Enraptured we look on

Premium MemberMrs Mallowan Takes a Walk

when autumn’s last but long exhale
left mists of winter in its trail
her thoughts turned to the past to look
at greenway and the paths she took
where reading signs inside her skies
she'd dream up deaths and alibis
along the short cuts through the wood
with thoughts of stabbings and of blood
while fungi often made her think
of slipping coniine inside drink
then with the breathless views behind
a choking often came to mind
though with the river dart in view
her thoughts would turn to drowning too
and passing by the greenway bell *
she'd sound out bludgeoning as well
then muse once at the greenway gates
of ordeals, follies, pigs and fêtes  **
before she'd vanish through her door
to ‘kill’ some time and write some more.


*  The Greenway Bell:
A bell on the quay of The River Dart in Devon, England that can be rung to let the ferry (a local passenger launch) know that you are there waiting to cross.

** References to the three stories written by Mrs Mallowan (Agatha Christie) that were inspired by her holiday home of Greenway:
Dead Man's Folly (a fête is featured)
Five Little Pigs
Ordeal by Innocence

Premium MemberBeing Nice Today Equals a Happy Tomorrow - Inspired By Ms Greenway

What happens tomorrow depends on what you do today.
So, be kind to the plants and animals, and let them play.
If you hurt the world today, you'll see the affect tomorrow.
If you don't take care of it, you will only cause sorrow.

It's the same thing with how you treat your family and friends.
If you're mean to them, the colors of their happiness may turn gray.
So, if you want them to be happy tomorrow, again,
Always be nice to everyone around you, today.

Thursday Night, Ladies Night

#TreeHouseInUse stories
  #ThursdayNightLadies Night 

Today is Thursday and no foul play is reported yet,
We having a greenway all the way?
Hell yeah!!! It's a good day, there is no way you can not obey,
When we applaud the kings of reggae  this way..
Ok, know when we explain it all to you, that this is to say 
When they make it be about rolling in the hay it means somebody has to pay
Never misplace this thought, keep it contained for decades 
Becuase it will be a disgrace if we keep this debate for long
For when we parade these mermaids, understand the mandate  thats when we say blue tick ?
Its a checkmate 
And named the first aid kid of the night 
So Mr Deejay.... it's  only  on you now!! Mr Deejay how you bring me these drinking songs will perfectly unlock the ding dong that keeps us going, going and going for more??
Doing the sidewalk dance that makes so much sense, now that is getting late????
You can't be everywhere because we are all on sherperds good and bad clock 
Hahahaha?? when its o' clock you better not, be in a hurry for that baby talk because when you in Bangkok and labelled as the preferred stock 
It only means one thing

25 February 1917

The Reverend William Greenway
Sailed from Wales to the USA
In Georgia to teach
He spied a ripe peach
And vowed himself wedded that day
