Roberta Writes – Tanka Tuesday and CFFC: Back of one any item #wildlife #Africa #poetry

Uncategorized 1 Minute

I am still away but we are now in a place that has better signal and wifi so I am able to write a post and read a few too. I didn’t want to miss Cee’s Back of one any item challenge and as I only have my work computer, I had to chose pictures from the current trip. I found a few good ones of animals from the back.

Giraffe from the back. This giraffe has a darker coat that average which was quite interesting. The flowers on the side of the picture are aloe vera.
This is a grey heron from the back
Rear end of a white rhino
This is a reed buck from the back
This is a crested guinea fowl. They are quite rare so it was a lucky sighting

Celtic tree astrology poems

Colleen’s challenge this week is to write a poem about your tree in Celtic tree astrology. I am an Ash, and so is my oldest son, Gregory. I wrote a poem for each of us.

ASH – THE ENCHANTER

FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 17

Ash signs are free thinkers. They are imaginative, intuitive, and naturally artistic. This sign has a tendency to be moody and withdrawn at times, but that’s only because your inner landscape is in constant motion. You are in touch with your muse and are easily inspired by nature. Likewise, you inspire all that you associate with and people seek you out for your enchanting personality. You have a strong interest in art, writing (especially poetry), science, and theology (spiritual matters). You are in a constant state of self-renewal and rarely place value on what others think of you. Ash signs partner well with Willow and Reed signs.

Word Weaver – for Robbie

Ideas form

As technicoloured gossamer threads

I weave them

Into floral word patterns

Designed to enchant

Technological Wizard – for Greg

His brain works

With computer code

Designing

Processing

Technological wizard

Creating magic

  10. I too am an ash. Ash wood is supposed to protect you from drowning since Feb-March were typically the months with heaviest rain and flooding. This is very old Celtic mythology, but if you were an English major in college, you probably bumped into this stuff if you were forced to read James Joyce or anything by Robert Graves.

  37. It’s amazing you managed to create those poems and share such great pics while travelling with your family and having to deal with some technical difficulties. But we know you’re not easily beaten. Thanks, Robbie. Great work.
