Thank you for that link, NT.^_^ I find the Nature ones more relaxing, or some of the animals or garden etc. The cake one is a bit too "busy" for me.

There was a another site I found many years ago that had more, and better, images but I can't find it now.

I was enjoying this one and this one last night.

Just back from the creative writing session. Something went wrong as the new people seemed to have joined in the end of the previous session and we were launched straight into study and critique of sonnets from Shakespeare to Edna St.Vincent-Millay.
It was very crowded and busy with people chatting nonsense around the subject discussion. Should be back to basics next week. The chap who came late and sat next to me reeked of BO and was one of the volunteers.xx(

To pass the time and to keep my mind off the smell I wrote a sonnet of my own expressing how I felt . Might read it out to the group next week.

:cuppa:
Do I really want to write a sonnet?
Not at all, or ever, but this I must.
The thought of Shakespeare gets upon my tit
But to do it is to turn brain to dust!
The noise and crush within this room affects
My mind, uncertain in how to progress,
Do I continue and produce some text?
Or accept my mind is now complete mess.
There is time, at least, to consider change
And look to pottery to shape some clay,
But chance at least extend my meager range,
To use words to change the things I never say.
However, I am here to do my time,
Ensure the words I write forever rhyme.
:thanks:

That's the first time I've ever seen tit and sonnet linked in a poem!
Well it was a first draft in one take.:smile:

I have never read any Shakespeare nor studied literature in any form so this was the first time I have been introduced to the concept of the sonnet. It turns out that there are rules and the only one that really seems to matter is the 14 lines. All the other rules appear to be optional.:scratch:

Headachey now so a :cuppa: is much appreciated.

I have finished turning the 'ball of string stand' and I am now waiting for it to explode as it dries out.
My lathe has a very rattley motor so I am going to have to remove it, strip it and probably replace the bearings. It isn't a well made bit of kit.
It is one of these, but without the stand.
