The Churches of
St Bridget & All Saints & Ewenny Priory
"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Philippians 4:8
We need a couplet to finish :) Wonder who would like to do that. Look forward to seeing the finished sonnet. (A)😀
A Special Place
Ivy inches inquisitive fingers into nooks
And crannies.
Gleefully exploring in the summer sun
Stone and vine, in mutual embrace.
Lacey wings flutter the leaves
As they stretch out along the wall Cheekily advancing.... reminding me of little green stars.
High above, hawk-wings shiver
Blurring for an instant a patch of blue.
Wings pixelated, a momentary hesitation
Before free-falling into the ferns beneath.
As they stretch out along the wall
Cheekily advancing.... reminding me
of little green stars
Bit more added ;) We'll get there... (A)
Do play around with the punctuation, too!
A Special Place

And crannies.
Gleefully exploring in the summer sun
Stone and vine, in mutual embrace.
Lacey wings flutter the leaves.
High above, hawk-wings shiver
Val would like to share these lines, sent to her recently by a friend... (A)
Thank you, Jayne :) (A)
Don't Quit When Things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and debts are high, And you want to Smile but have to sigh. When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won if he'd stuck it out, Don't give up though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow. Often the struggler has given up, When he might captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown, Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959)?
