Southern Rata Splendour
Southern Rata (is a stunning Kiwi Tree)
Red or scarlet harlots instead...a bucolic frolic..
Tranches spread as if bulbous branches have gorgeously bled..
Overpowering flowering towers glimmer…fanciful fairytale shimmers showering...
Such vim...swim on a whim..sprouting on an outing from their pouting wooden limb....
A delight..refining..shining bright.. defining.. these bizarrely beautifully gnarly trees...
Crimson collage..insisting snarling tendril darlings..timber tentacles twisting…a magical mirage....

splendour
one of my favouraite songs is titled
how great is our God
dear Jesus
let us rejoice
open our hearts
and lift up our voice
give glory to your nàme
magnificent in every way
helping us as we pray
thinking of you our king
and the joy that you bring
as you sit upon your throne
we give thanks
for calling us your own. Amen
Psalm 29:4

Incandescent In Your Splendour
Incandescent in your splendour
By Michelle Morris
27/09/2023
The people who want you to fail so that they can keep you around for when they need you, are not your friends. They are not worthy of being part of your story. But, try to include them anyway.
The colleagues who relax and go home early whilst you

Fall Splendour
Summer's excitement over, veiled Fall tiptoes softly
tantalizing, with aroma of golden sunshine,
decoupage of leaves - cerise, tangerine, crimson-red
a riot of colours on bountiful maple and playful pine!
whimsical season filling hearts in euphoric delight,
I see dreams of my zestful youth in soaring leaves
swooshing, floating, drifting around, often fluttering,
few sprawled on the ground summer's dreams weave.

Splendour of the Fall
Leaves commence the dance of splendour
In illustrious September
In colours of red, brown and gold
The fall is glory to behold.
What joy it is to stand and stare
As autumnal trees shed their ware
When the trees are stripped of their braid
October sees leaf carpets laid.
When fall has had its final fling
Then begins seasonal upswing
Earth starts annual cooling

Fall Splendour
September sun setting low,
Fall in all its golden glow;
Anticyclones hold transient sway
As mist forms ,at the close of day.
Dogwood,jasmine,marram grass
In flower ,as pressure fills the barometer glass;
Evening primrose in scented bloom
Fill Autumn with pungent perfume.
Winter migrants with welcome calls
As the Indian Summer falters,and falls;
Nature's tempo tarries,then slows
As all creation begins to doze.

A New Hope
A New Hope
Straddling waves, changing tides
Turbulent sea, bumpy ride
Still, the anchor holds
To destination progress
Wake up and smell the morning
It's the dawn of a new day
Clear blue sky, bright new morn
Sun smiling in sweet splendour
The aroma of a fresh hope
Greets the nose with lingering incense
Savour the dish
Dine and be full
Life is what we

Greenery
Greenery stretches
As far as your eyes can reach
An abundance of green tones
Reflecting signs of life and youth
Looking soft, tender and non-aggressive
Signifying kindness and patience
Love and affection
Maybe imbedded with a little jealousy
Because of the admiration for
The vibrance and brightness of some other colours
Every colour has its dream
The green colour also has its dream
An increasing touch

Astronomical Encompassing
Awaiting bristled whisper of ghost jounced leaves
Lain gazing galaxies far from terra's tarpaulin roof
Exciting diamonds claw for cosy navy ink reprieve
Hark my insignificance in succinct majesty's truth
Hushed by muchness, my warmth absorbs His plenty
Lapped by luminous lure, iced gateau half eaten moon
Crumbled among sudden calm of Master's immensity
Awash in melodic acknowledgement, midnight's

Morning Splendour
Nature beckons me with its charm ~
trees waving in the wind
wish me good morning from their farm;
birds chirrup, their music plays on,
young ones squeak in response,
I love hearing these sounds at dawn;
honeybees, butterflies float by,
busy waking flowers,
I watch them with a content sigh,
buds open up their little heads,
sun rays smile at dewdrops,
charming me as

Morning Splendour
The bamboo shades.
Fresh oranges just squeezed.
Neatly hung towels right in place,
Chrome on all appliances glistening.
Beige basket for mail.
That darling window that allows God's sunshine in.
The resplendent shining microwave.
And of course the cat on her rug.
Foevergreen eyes, looking up.
Mom on the her knees, giving a hug.
