You Are My Sunshine: Cee’s Challenge

We are going to throw ourselves into this week’s challenge from Cee and her Fun Foto challenge!  The challenge is to interpret the chorus of ” You are my Sunshine”, which goes something like this:

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are grey you’ll never know dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.

You are my sunshine, My only sunshine, you make me happy

You are my Sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are grey

When skies are grey

You’ll never know , deer, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away

You’ll never know , deer

How much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away

A Balloons Life II

Once I floated high, free
Full of self
Drifting contently
Carefree life
Inflated, never dated
Not deflated
A joy
To girls and a boy
Bringing smiles to faces
As I drift to many places
Earlier today at a wedding
A couple, pledging
A tiny hand released us
Not with a fuss
But with wonder, a little sigh
As we headed high
Into a deep blue sky
Floating forever onward
Over trees, a songbird
Brought up, to a sharp halt
A single branch ensnares
End of journey?
End of life?
No more smiles!
But no!
To a leafless tree, tied
To adorn,
And bring a rye smile
From a soulless entity
To photograph,
To share with others
Hoping to elicit
A final smile.

A Balloons Life

All the Fun

Up top, into the fair
His eyes wide at the magic
Seeing the rides, wondering if he dares
Colours bright, he trips the light. Fantastic.

Mini roller coaster he rides,
Fast, up and down
He cannot hide his smiles
Ride stops, not a frown.

Smiles!

“The Wisdom of Teeth”

Sunflower

Her pen and ink
Look again don’t blink
Sunflower in bloom
No paintings of gloom.

Paintings by fliss III My Friend The Artist.

Am I to recover
A good friend I discover
An artist to take note
Of what I’m carrying about.

She paints a moment
A scene so poignant
Something to treasure
A coming together

Her art now loud
It speaks her proud
It calls for attention
Her abstract sensation

Two I have seen
One of orange and green
A canvas so clean
it’s story serene.

Her pen and ink
Look again don’t blink
Sunflower in bloom
No paintings of gloom.

Her eyes shine bright
Laughter so light
Looking for direction
Head turned, distraction.

Now I smile, and with reason
A brand new Season
Spring is here
Freshness to the air

Two minds that kiss
My friend, fliss!

The boy and the balloon

“Little boy grinning
Eyes wide, winning.
Photo taken, smiling
Memories making.
Enchanting.”

Childs’ Play

Streams full and rushing
Young boy splashing
Wellies wet, dashing
Water lapping,
Small hands smacking.
Face wet, dripping.
Little boy grinning
Eyes wide, winning.
Photo taken, smiling
Memories making.
Enchanting.
