ColourMine you’re everywhere for me

In everything I do, everywhere I go
And I’m so glad that you let me know
Everything I do is an inspiration from you
Whilst with everything I see
You inspire the fire in me

I cannot let a day go by
When I don’t, at least try
To find something new
Something positive, something you
It’s true and it’s very you
Everything I see, is miraculously
Full of wonder, and generosity

ColourMine – Natural Array

From bugs and spiders, slow worms too
The many shrubs, and the swing seat for two
Even the compost bin has its day
Shouting “boom”, and “hey, hey, hey”
From the chickens, the cows, the horses too
The barking dog, the cockatoo
The rats, the birds, big and small
They all join in the morning call

Life is so fabulous because
ColourMine is here with me
And I’ve decided to share it with thee
Life you know, will not be the same
After you have shared the thoughts in my brain

From sadness to happiness, you must agree
Life isn’t all brilliant all the time you see
Though maybe that could just be me
Until then I’m hoping and praying
That ColourMine will forever be -
Seen by these rose-tinted glasses
Whooptidee

A Quick Explanation

This is a poem about an ordinary garden as seen each and every day. Included are a few of the creatures that come my way. Several are seen but others shy away and leave a small deposit to prove they came by today. This proof of their life may not always be as nicely scented as you might wish it to be. Hopefully, when the neighbours’ chickens decide to leave, then the foxes probably won’t visit me.

Many of the antics that I have seen, have been mentioned in other poems that I have written. They are quite possibly reminiscent of something that you have probably seen. A lot are happy and a few are quite gross, that all depends on your stance, your beliefs, and the shade of your rose-tinted glasses. I sincerely hope you enjoy everything on ColourMine that you read, Goodbye for now, I’m going for a cup of tea.
