The Titles: Clouds, /notitle, The Pansy are taken from Amanda's sketchbooks and writings to acknowledge her life and achievements.

Clouds

Clouds
Are a patchwork blanket
Where angels sit having a picnic.
Are they big balls of cotton wool or candyfloss.
Is someone hiding among the clouds.
Sometimes they get angry and cry.
Maybe they can see what we are
Doing to our world


/no title
 
The soul of the earth
runs through my veins,
 
I feel the treelife dashing
from scattering rain.
 
Red, green, Yellow
are the colours
of the chattering leaves
dancing merrily
to the tune of the breeze.
 
The drizzling,fluttering, fleeting rain
skitters all around again,
to light up the woodland lane.

The Pansy
 
inside the pansy a new universe,
the ladybird chases aphid
through petals and stalks to the edge of the world.
dewdrops like stars
catch the ladybirds eye,
stargazing in awe at the night sky.
me and the lady bird sit together in the garden,
contemplating the universe beyond the pansy.
