PICK AND MIX...

Friday Favourite taken from a Venetian gondola

Things in a row.... for Pat

And a little rhyme I wrote sometime last year

Green light says Go

Indicate, turn right

Foot down, hurrying

Home for the night

Ball speeds towards him

Just a game

Football crazy,

Future fame?

Parents shed tears

On fragrant flowers

He wouldn’t be told

That son of ours

Who can they blame?

Who was remiss?

There should be a law

To stop upsets

  1. Hi Valerie,

    I was...
    Delighted( Venise; aaahhh.
    Amused by the colors
    Saddened by your moving poem.

    I have felt a lot just in a few minutes :))

    Have a happy Friday & weekend.

  3. Just what I would expect from a Mixed Bag of Pick And Mix - images to delight me, words to warn me.

  5. I had a "mixed bag" of emotions with this post.

    That first photo - longing. I'd love to go to Venice! Hello bucket list!

    The second photo - happy! Made me smile with all the colors. I love kitchen gadgets and such. And I'm happy you joined in for Things in a ROw.

    And the poem made me sad. Nicely written though.

  11. Hi all. When I posted this I didn't realise it was a potpourri of emotions. I like the word potpourri, I might use it again sometime.
