Seeing Green

Today’s #coloryourworld is the lovely sea green

Which is perhaps not so lovely, if you happen to be a duck

I cannot remember exactly where this was

But I do remember going there to visit a waterfall

It soon became clear that the brochure photographer had used a more ‘artistic’ license

Ok ok so I was a little late to the party today but thanks to Tim’s Nano prompts

 

Some pink fizzy stuff

and some encouragement from CampNaNoWriMo cabin mates, I managed to get off to a flying start ringing in at 860 words. A lot of which were used to explore a character so I’m happy with this. I need to keep most of it under wraps however I can share the warm up waning moon sprint.

The moon wanes to a fingernail as the hollow shriek of the foxes call out in the darkness. I hear them play at night, their soft paws padding on the lawn, noses snuffling into trash cans and paper bags left folded under the guise of recycling. Nobody ever washes out the jars though, nor the plastic packets curled around meat haunches which the fox kits love to lick and suck . They come from far and wide to this hot spot, the only place in the neighbourhood where people are too lazy to rinse.

Hope everyone else enjoyed a good first day, and remember there is plenty of time to catch up !

Scream if you wanna go Greener

For the #coloryourworld today it was screaming green which started with inspiration nearby..

Then a hunt for a little green guy I had been given

and then my thoughts kind of spiralled into a rhyming rant.

The Green War!

It makes me mad
it makes me scream
This war we wage
On Nature’s dream
Instead of loving our friend Earth
We plough and pillage, drain her worth
They seem to think she’ll live forever
Suited liars that think they’re clever
And with each new corrupt endeavour
Line their pockets, kill whatever
Gets in their way on land, or sea
Especially if it starts with B
We need to make our voices heard
Oppose the greedy and absurd
Or else sit back, let fat cats win
Watch Earth die – our hopes within
