Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

Night of little wind,
Stillness breathing over the fir trees
And the house
Turreted
With staircases and towers
And secret passages
And levels going up into the sky.
A stained-glass window
Where the light is always on -
Impossible fairy-tale castle
Seen in moonlight


                                        from "The Star Reaper"..........  poems  by  Morelle Smith

Merry Christmas!

Autumn Fields

Autumn fields........

Road to the beach ........

Wild flowers on the shore .......

Today the sea has an ethereal quality.
I'm reminded of Edward Lear's poem about the owl and the pussy-cat,and imagine
them sailing off over the horizon to far away lands .......

The Owl and the Pussy-cat

The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea
 In a beautiful pea-green boat:
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five-pound note

Edward Lear (1812 - 1888) was an English artist, and writer of humerous nonsense poems.
First published in 1871, "The Owl and the Pussy-cat" has become one
of our best known children's stories.

Pastoral scene painted by Lear during travels in the Balkans.

Morelle Smith has written an interesting post about him   -  HERE
