Cultivating plants is a hit and miss #science I don’t understand. ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #haiku

#Science books hidden, stored at the back of a shelf they’re no good to me. ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #haiku

I rang a #number on hold for thirty minutes, fed up, I gave up. ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #haiku

Wind whispers my name or is it just purely my imagination. ©️Purple Polly #haiku

The #number of blooms in #nature’s yard multiply how long will they last? ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #HaikuChallenge

Two plus two is five five plus five is eleven; #numbers don’t add up. ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #haiku #senryu

#vss365 #haiku #law

The #law of gravity couldn’t break my fall, across the pavement I did sprawl. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Oh what a night I had last night, I nearly tripped over my walking stick dancing to ‘I fought the #law’ and the walking stick won. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

We have a language problem. Whenever I say “BASIL,DON’T DO THAT!” he does the exact opposite. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

“DON’T TOUCH MY FENCE, BASIL!” I warned. “I’m just going to…Ahhh” he started to explain before my fence and Basil fell down with a crash. Now Basil and my fence are #history. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Mayor Basil Grumble gets lost often and turns up late to events. His #geography’s not much good. I bought him a map to help him get around, that didn’t work, for Basil held the map upside down. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Basil is #famous in our town he is the local Mayor he’s always headline news, causing chaos everywhere at summer fetes and Christmas Fayre Basil, he will be seen the centre of attention when embroiled in a scene. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

The hammer fell on Basil’s toe and gave him such a fright, I told him that he needed educating on the risks of DIY he clenched his fist, and shook his head then walked off with a sigh. ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #education

Basil, my friend who lives next door, likes to help with #domestic chores and DIY jobs. DIY is not his thing, he tries his best but makes a mess. Right now he’s standing, hammer in hand. “BASIL, PUT THAT HAMMER DOWN!” I cry reluctantly, Basil complies. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to write a narrative poem and have decided this November is the time to do this. Here is the start using yesterday’s and today’s prompt. #vss365 #business #creature

I’m a #creature of habit. Each day it’s the same routine, I wake up a moody, irrational, irritable monster. Then I have coffee. Sweet, smooth frothy coffee, and suddenly I am human again. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Landscape gardening a growing #busines concern with blooming profits. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

I am the ghost of Halloween it is my job to make you scream and so without further ado pretend your scared when I shout ‘boo’. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

A #ray of sunshine on the horizon brings hope on gloomy grey days. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

I look in the mirror to see an #argent version of me. Brunette strands of hair replaced by silver, how can that be? ©️Purple Polly #vss365

This is an #experiment, an exercise, to help me write something every day. Allowing my mind to wander freely across my computer screen before I run out of characters and reach the end before I’ve finished… ©️Purple Polly #vss365

#Experimenting could be a complete failure or a great success. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

I had a #creepy moment it gave me quite a fright a spider sat in front of me it was an eerie sight eyes that bulged and looked at me and legs that were quite long I had to run away and fast before he did me wrong. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

#Heliacal light starts the day, time to wake up time to play, tend the garden while it’s light, much to be done before night falls, stops me from digging holes, soon the moon it will be whole. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

#vss365 #terror

I’m feeling like a #Martian feeling out of sync I hope I will feel normal when I’ve had a drink of coffee that is frothy to help me on my way and hopefully I’ll have myself a coffeelicious day. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Without social media, a poets words would remain #unseen, lost forever as the ink on the page disappears, forever. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

My #energy has gone away it said goodbye have a nice day. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

I have a #saucer but no cup, my coffee! how will I sup? It would be rude for me to sup coffee from saucer Instead of cup. Oh saucer please produce a cup so frothy coffee I can sup. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Nestling in #saucer a cup of frothy coffee waiting to be drunk. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

Feel like I’m flying, hovering above the pavement as I roll with my walking frame. Tasting freedom and independence, there’s no stopping me now singing: ‘Born to be wild.’ ©️Purple Polly #vss365 #hover

My attention span is not much good in fact, it’s pretty bad a thought will #hover in my head then goes, it drives me mad. I’ll never write a novel or epic poetry 280 and characters well, that’s enough for me. ©️Purple Polly

When I walk I wiggle, and walking makes me giggle I’m like an android a giggling bot I wobble a lot, a wiggling, giggling paranoid fidgeting sniggering #android. ©️Purple Polly #vss365

An #arid summer nothing grows except of course an abundance of weeds. ©️Purple Polly #vss365
