Every day is a new beginning. Spread the magic of Love.
Sing a Song of Love when the Warlock Beckons
When my spirits sink too low
The warlock’s on the prowl, I know
His scheming dart could tear my soul apart
Rejoice he does in his evil deed
Spreading monstrous lies and his creed
Of hate, which, he claims, should be our fate
So with great abandon and the utmost glee
He offers his deceitful words, enticing me
“I’ll teach you what I preach”
“Try out some sweet revenge
Your wounded heart thus to avenge
Choose to hurt and punish to a finish”
Depart from me, you ugly creep
Before I make you weep
With my loving song all day long!

For “tercetonine”, please see my post “My Holden Barina”.
“Just an Ordinary Garden – A Tercetonine” is another example.
Welcome to Fairy Tale Fusion. Where things get messy in the Riding Hood.
What if the characters in Fairy Tales existed? What if they lived and breathed in a place called Fairyland, a setting not too divergent from our world, situated next to Wonderland and down the lane from Camelot?
Meet Detective Piper, member of the Fairyland Metro Police. His job, to ferret out the suspects and investigate crime on the streets and in the lanes of Fairyland. Along with Officer Simon, he’s hard at work, searching for a missing pumpkin, hunting for an arsonist, wondering what the future holds in a series of crystal ball robberies, and dealing with spells, curses and other strange happenings.
His cases, and others like them, are the headlines of the day, brought to you by FTN news anchors Spider Bramble and Aurora Gossamer, with entertainment correspondent Lucinda Lovedust and reporter Chip Charming. Keep up-to-date on the latest information out of Fairyland and its adjacent suburbs, and the recent hubbub with trolls, princesses, fairies and their ilk.
And after leaving Fairyland, you’ll journey to a place where toys are born… to be bad. When spells go wrong and playthings turn mean, where clown dolls would kill to meet you and a Rubik’s cube holds a cosmic secret.
If you survive the toy box, then head out to party with some elves (if you can outlast the celebration), battle in a far, far away galaxy, play “find the dragon”, and discover how they do crime and punishment in Oz.
And remember, always be nice to your Fairy Godmother.

A new daffodil has been created to commemorate soldiers who fought and died in the Dardanelles campaign of 1915.
Expert grower Ron Scamp has named his new variety Gallipoli Dawn and he hopes the flower will raise much-needed funds for the organisation set up to remember those killed and wounded in the fighting.
Scamp grows more than 3,000 varieties of daffodil – the largest collection in the world – in Falmouth, Cornwall.
He said: ‘I made the first “cross” of this daffodil in 1992, it first flowered in 1997 and it usually takes another six to 12 years to develop to a commercial variety.
‘This daffodil is an all-yellow, strong growing variety for the garden and has already won prizes in exhibition. When the Gallipoli Association approached me and asked me if I had a variety that could be named for the centenary commemoration I was deeply honoured.’

Luscious
Crimson bloom, like
The maiden’s young heart, with
Joy and trepidation unfolds
Pure love

Originally, Wattle Day was celebrated on 1 August by wearing a sprig of wattle to demonstrate patriotism. From 1992, 1 September became National Wattle Day. But are there any wattles still in bloom? I took this photo at the beginning of August this year.
Bowing
Sprays of yellow
Blossoms: sweet scent of the
Golden Wattle fills the air in

Today is Daffodil Day in Australia. We are asked to give generously for Cancer research.
My recent passions, writing poetry and photography, live in harmony inspiring each other.
