Tom and Susie enjoyed playing together, since they were the same age; Like fine art, in the age of colors, when beautiful became all the rage! Bike riding and hide and seek, roller skating...

Violet Smith lived in Center Kingdom. Her neighbors were Jack and Jill; Like orange sun, of a pink morning, when it's just peeking over blue hills. With Mother and Father and sister, Ava, Violet enjoyed life on Sage farm; Just as lilac breezes, from out of the south, only rove to keep you warm. Theirs was a land that...

The itsy bitsy spider
Inspired by the inimitable nursery rhyme The itsy bitsy spider By Michelle Morris 20/12/2023 Remember the itsy bitsy spider Trying to survive the water spout? Whether rain or shine That spider didn't give up or pout Rainbows will come Seasons will flow And that itsy bitsy spider Will learn to live and grow So, if you're feeling down Or struggling in the rain I hope you'll remember this...

Cooper was a large and curious tiger, the bright star of a motley circus, Always out of step with others; like erring moon, of dawn skies, citrus. He was well fed and got lots of attention, like rave days of mist roses, When silver moments tell true stories, before the latterly hour closes. Whenever other tigers went left, Cooper...

Julian and Joan were married, just as glitter is joined to crystal sun. Julian was a famous violinist, like redbirds making music, in season. Joan had a variety of elegant shoes.

April Brooks was four years old, prattling a blue streak, like comets; Or backwards walking time, seizing swiftly, days of golden promise. April lived with parents and older sister, in the sunshine of a valley; And petals wore dew pearls and fragrance, all along the green alley. April and sister, Dawn, loved horses, though still too young to ride; But,...
