Nature’s spectacular 
Casting its electrical colours
Through the night
Over northern skies
Through the air colours leap
As many of us are fast asleep

“Fill the Frame with Colour”

21st January 2019

I’ve decided to undertake a challenge i did last year

30 photographs all on an individual theme

So here’s No1 – Filling the Frame with Colour

19th January 2019

The Irony of three birds

sitting in the Salford Wind

on a January Morning

by Solar panels on a roof

just as the clouds

begin to fall

Cousin of the bruin, brown
A hard bear to see around
Maybe because your fur like snow
Of where you are its hard to know
Unless its warmer on the top
For days you’ll walk where the ice drops
Looking around for a friend
A bear like you – you can depend
Greeting you warmly with a hug
Encapsulating you like a bug in a rug

16th January 2019

While men and women make promises

of jam tomorrow

many in the kitchen are cooking down the soft fruit

and sugar today

not forgetting the stuff that makes it set

as the mixture

nicely forms its

dropped into glass jars – and left to set

Many enjoy the taste of it,

even the youngsters

now, at last, there is something that people agree on

Salford 15th January

The sun hasn’t risen yet,

Darkness fills the skies

And yet, I’m up with the sound

Of the rolling traffic and yelping dogs

For soon, on arrival

Young minds eager to learn

Will land by the place,

I call my second home

And for a short space of time

They’ll listen to a tale

Before venturing out into the space

Like wondering timelords

Taking in tales

From around the world

Of conflict and peace

From Britain to Greece

And I’ll be there for a while

With occasional smile

To guide them and show

The places to go
