Clear Days
I lay on the soft grass, my red hair spilled around me.
I look up to the almost clear blue sky with a couple of white cotton clouds floating lazily and merrily.
The whisper of the wind flowing through my ears as the trees gently swayed around me.
I was at piece.
My head was clear of thoughts.
My mind making funny shapes out of the clouds above.
I see a baby dragon blowing a puff of fire out of its mouth, then as the cloud began to move it changed to a chicken pecking a pile of something.
I lay there for hours watching the clouds and the sun pass by, I feel relaxed.
I feel happy and I have never had the feeling of this as if there were no worries in the world.
I listen to dogs bark happily to each other.
I hear horses neigh and gallop around their paddocks.
I here the call of the birds as I watch them glide by happily in the sky.
I hear the bounce of the trampoline of which my brother was jumping as high as his legs could take him.
I watched the day go by.
I sit to watch the sunset and the sky turned different colours, blue to a purple- pink colour, reminding me of the poem my mum used to say (red sky at night, sailors delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning).
I sit here as the cool air fills our place and the sent of mist is in the air.
I lie back down and watch the clear starry sky.
I spot the Southern Cross in the sky and knew that if I could see the Southern Cross then I would be home.
I see Orion’s Belt (the pot) and the bright shimmering moon.
I want to lie here forever. But I know that it’s getting late and I must go to bed. But I’ll be back tomorrow

You wrote this when you were 12???? You have a clear and natural style that I think should be the envy of any writer. If you want to know what I was writing when I was 11 have a look here
You really made the summer come alive for me. It’s the little details, like the description of the trampoline, or quoting the poem your mother told you.
thankyou indeterminacy, yes i enjoy writing alot but if you read the work of my sister (gynnirox) or my mother (adgray) then you will understand that our family is full of writers.

Yes my girl we are all a very talented bunch aren’t we! I wonder what’s in Danny’s mind! and if Tom would ever give himself 3 seconds to think of writing creatively I wonder what he’d come up with! and yes your brother Michael was / is also a writer!

Stunning piece of work! I was there with you on that grass looking at the dragon in the sky and hearing the wonderful sounds around you……..such peace and calm……you captured the complete picture of what it’s like to be happy and at peace……perfect images of a wonderfully calm day………..well done….this is great work.
oops……..I just read what you wrote up there …….and wanted to say this…….the best writers always say…….write what you know about…and you just said it up there, you honestly did those things and that is why you write so beautifully about them….fantastic!
OH oh oh……..I forgot…….boys like a challenge……so if you want them to write, maybe you could say…..I bet you couldn’t describe a sunny day or a feeling in say, 50 words…….and watch their minds tick over :o)
Thank you Sal… your words are so wise to me… thankyou for the tips… i will be sure to keep them in mind
