Friday activity

Morning All,
A fairly straight forward challenge today and one that I would love to see the results from.
Yesterday was a little warmer so I got out into the garden but just a chiffchaff calling nearby was new for my self isolation garden list. This weekend, particularly Sunday, looks to be a cracking day. I think it will definitely be an "out in the garden and finding things" day.

Over the last fortnight we have covered art ideas, nature spotting and a little bit of making things. Today, how about a piece of poetry writing for adults and children alike?
Choose a specific creature, maybe a spider or a bird but also think about exotic animals like elephants and giraffes, lions and tigers. See if you can find a poem already written about an animal and perhaps use that as a template, just change some words.
Alternatively, start with a new idea and write your own, rhyming, descriptive or creative, long or short, verses or not.
Be adventurous, go on, give it a go!

Maybe go into science fiction? This moth I trapped in the garden several years ago looks like it is from another planet. Could be your starting idea.

How about using this wonderful Indian elephant as your subject? This was a photo of a wild elephant I took in Sri Lanka in 2018 on a Nature Reserve called Udawalawe in the south of the island.

Look forward to seeing results. Usual contact: jforgham"at"hotmail.com Keep them coming.
