Textures by pixlr and ipiccy Mauve.....a poem by Dilantha Gunawardana To see all of the poem go here poemhunter.com/poem/mauve She was sitting there on the porch steps Reminiscing kisses and french crepes When love knocked on my jaded door As her Amish headdress flew high above the varnished floor She is Mauve, always in her pale violet sundresses With blossoming lavenders sprinkled on her tresses With a skipping gait and magnetizing stare As to the gods I parted with a thanksgiving prayer

Colour me...

Textures from pixlr and picmonkey Colour Me....a poem by Sneha Murali Colour me beautiful, colour me wild Colour me loved, colour me mild Colour me red yellow green blue Colour me a tinge, colour me hue He said, She Bled. He lied, She cried He said 'paint me red' She said 'colour me dead' He sped, she pled. He washed colours with hate instead Colour me simple, colour me plain, colour me before I'm erased again Rubbed, dubbed, snubbed and scrubbed Outline me before love fills me up Before pain is painted on my canvas Before hurt is stained on my facade Colour me strong, colour me long Colour me temper, colour me wrong He cant be; He wont be my dismay Broken brush and bristles, faded away Colour me beautiful, not just beautiful But lovely, pretty, nitty, gritty, graceful Colour me rainbow, colour me trance Colour me just one, just one more chance.

Burghley House Sculpture (3)

03 Jul 2011 5 8 372
Sculpture in the grounds of Burghley House, Lincs. Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1558 and 1587 and modeled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls and Marquesses of Exeter, and since 1961 is owned by a charitable trust established by the family. Lady Victoria Leatham, a daughter of the 6th Marquess and a well-known antiques expert and television personality ran the House as a Director of the Trust from 1982 to 2007. She has been succeeded by her daughter Miranda Rock. The house is one of the principal examples of 16th-century English Elizabethan architecture and also has a suite of rooms remodeled in the baroque style, with carvings by Grinling Gibbons. The main part of the house has 35 major rooms on the ground and first floors. There are more than 80 lesser rooms and numerous halls, corridors, bathrooms and service areas. In the 17th century, the open loggias around the ground floor were enclosed. Although the house was built in the letter E in honour of Queen Elizabeth, it is now missing its north-west wing. During the period of the 9th Earl's ownership, and under the guidance of "Capability" Brown, the south front was raised to alter the roof line, and the north-west wing was demolished to allow better views of the new parkland.

On Explore....Thank you Spring Flowers ~ Crocus - Poem by Mary Havran Crocus flowers daring tiny warriors Fighting their way up through The winter ice Crocus darling early Spring harbingers Promising days will soon Be turning nice Tiny Crocus flowers grow in close groups Strength in numbers seeking Where winter snows still may lie Encircled encampment of floral troupes “We march onward to spring” They raise this brave battle cry Bold strength contained in Crocus so small Should winter challenge again They simply refuse to die Delicate blossoms possess such wherewithal I cannot help but wonder then Should not likewise you and I?
