Amanda Jane Yates Poems

Scorching red
And icy blue
Mixed in harmony.
Energise or calm
...

It
Scares me
Quite witless
When I know that
...

The full moon rises this is the night
Faeries to the woodland Ho!
Come all to your monthly commote court.
Lit by your own incandescent glow.
...

Mighty fortress made out of stone.
Home where the Queen Bee has her throne.
Hear the hum of daily toil.
Timeless work that naught can spoil.
...

Chattering, giggling on she goes
Over the rocks and down the hill
From the spring she has drunk her fill.

Bubbling, tinkling along she flows
On her back a leaf she carries
Swift and sure she never tarries.
...

Nature's bounty knows no bound.
Round us trees with wealth are crowned.
All in jewelled green are gowned.
...

Just an arm and a half away
I saw six tortoiseshell butterflies
Feeding on clusters of purple flowers.
...
