Indigo night
Full moon rising
Diamonds sparkling
Across the ocean.
Dunes looming
Ethereal spectres
Casting shadows
On shimmering sands.
Star-spangled heavens
Cascading moonbeams
Majestic tapestry
Hypnotic. Sublime.
Dancing barefoot
Delirious with joy
Happy oblivion
Spellbound with awe.
Captive heart
Spark of Divinity
Eternal flame
On hallowed ground.
For the last few weeks I have been studying an enjoyable short course “Making a Poem” with Manchester Metropolitan University via Future Learn.
The above is the poem I wrote for the final assessment.
A short while ago, I studied a short course about William Wordsworth with Lancaster University, also via Future Learn.
See my previous post:

So if you’re looking for something to do during the lock-down that a lot of us are experiencing at this time, then I can well recommend these courses. You can choose from hundreds of subjects, including up-to-date information on the Corona virus. The courses are well-written by experts, they’re interesting, informative, enjoyable and they’re free. Happy learning!

Welcome to My World 
Nice words and images. Patience in your new lockdown…
Thank you very much. The Wales lockdown ends on 9th November but England is starting a new lockdown on Thursday for at least a month. Scotland and Northern Ireland both have restrictions too. This seems to be the pattern now. Hopefully we’ll all be able to have some form of Christmas, Lovely to hear from you.
What happened to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 ? NO coordination left? My apologies for not visiting lately. I need to make a tougher selection in my reader… Stay safe…
The four nations are all doing their own thing and making a right mess of it!! Don’t worry about not visiting. I haven’t been posting for several months with not being able to get out. I’ll have to search the archives now.
Stay safe.
Gorgeous, Lizzy.
Bless you, dear Francina 💜
