Myrtle Green
"To truly observe perhaps is to take notice of the overlooked, the irregular and the obscure."
A fierce green.
An armour of spikes in amber yellow.
Sharp,
Hard,
Tough,
He shows anyone who comes close.
An edge for flare.
A commanding presence.
His bold colours demand an audience.
All eyes are drawn to the conker chestnut.
Noticing flecks of coral orange, I follow my gaze.
A soothing myrtle green.
An elegant coat.
Round,
Compact,
Sturdy,
She guards its seeds for bloom.
Grit,
Resilient,
Strong,
She weathers the storm.
Humble,
Unwavering,
Brave,
She blooms in adversity.
The true warrior of the wild.
Her honest colours endures time.
I am the bud.

Darkness Falls
Introduction I am trying to stop myself doing these Eclipse poems but I can resist anything but temptation, and this shows how weak-willed I am. To make it a little more interesting I am going to describe an eclipse using the Acrostic and Fibonacci (Fib) poetic forms combined.

The Bloody Blood in Your Veins
Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
