Da ew genam liwyow mis Gwedngala. Whei ell gweles cabmdhavas en keow ha lowarthow; dû ha gwydn gen keniver liw tredhans.

Ma lies mor dû - saw radn brâssa anodhans nag ew dû whath; thens rüdh. Ma othom a howl moy. Ma mor erel ew rüdh spladn - an re na nag ew dhe vos debrys, nevra! Gwedhros ha bryony - nebes mor ew gwer spladn ewedh. Liwyow an tycky-Duw ew pur üvel en contrast - pecar'a delen varow.














I like September colours. You can see a rainbow in hedges and gardens; black and white with every colour in between them. There are small white flowers among dark green, evergreen ivy leaves and dark brown, dead needles from a fir-tree. There's white yeast on Kea plums growing wild in the hedge. Are they ultramarine or purple? There are lots of blackberries - but a majority of them are not black yet; they are red. More sun is needed. There are berries that are bright red - those are not to be eaten, never! Honeysuckle and bryony - some berries are bright green too. The colours of the butterfly are very modest in contrast - like a dead leaf.

I'm a proper lazybones today. I found an old blog (August 2018) and decided to recycle it. I like reusing lots of things! I was brought up after the war, in a spirit of make do and mend. We didn't squander a single thing. I was satisfied with my verses in the first place, so why shouldn't I recycle them?
