Master of the clock’s working
lining up the dials
making sure the hands turn
that haven’t been moving
for a while

Nebulous
Acrostic, Cooking, PoetrySalford 19 September 2019
#fowc #nebulous
Noted – you’re in a bit of a haze over this…but
every cloud has its silver lining
born out of a culinary experiment that went amiss
up to the adding of the popping candy, everything
looked fine – till the batter mix leaped
out of the pan and landed on the ceiling
up you look, as a cosmic array appears above
should you leave it there ? or clean it up ? – That’s up to you.

It’s like someone had put your cat
into the photocopier
for where there was one cat
looking for his lunch
there now was another
Upbeat

Salford, 16th September
U know what it is
Picking up your step to the
Beat of the rhythm and bass
Even singing a bar or two
As you stroll through the park
Today’s a great day – keep moving to the music
Middle

Top shelf of life ?
hardly!
reality is it might look like he’s in the middle, but
everyone knows he’s the one they want to
engage with.
Burnt Sienna

I recall a leather chair
the smell of it as I sat in it in the morning
it’s sound as I got my back into its folds
it squeaked – like a mouse looking for food
Looking out beyond the glass
in a warm seat
looking out for snowmen
beyond the garden fence
Sitting there quietly
watching the snowflakes
fall to the ground
whilst warming my hands on a hot mug
Aurora
PoetrySalford, 14th September 2019
As Ra heads for the covers
Up pops the borealis, producing
Radiant colour in the night sky
Over the heads of observers they fly
Rolling over hill and dale
And creating a scene to bring a smile to those who see it
Anyone
Poetry, Politics#Fowc #Anyone
The ambitious young upstart
looking at his boss
watched with envy
as the boss handed out the cash
and the rest played with their building blocks
Anyone could do that! – the upstart cried
and plotted his way to his bosses seat
sending his boss to a personal hell
and soon from his position at the top – he fell
And the upstart achieved his ultimate dream
appointing his friends to his number one team
ignoring the warnings from others around
as others in chamber just listened and frowned
And while on his pedestal – making merry and all
the one before him was having a ball
pointing the finger at the ones who did push
with cautionary words – look out for the rush
Ballerinas
Flowers, Garden, Photography, PoetrySalford 12th September 2019
They woke up one spring morning,
at the light of the sun
Bobbing around in a gentle breeze
their dancing – just begun
Over the long grass and daisies they dropped
as their coloured dresses flipped and flopped
and as they danced round in the wind
the daisies waited for the breeze to recind
Duetting with the dandelions
as their seed just flew away
wondering who – apart from the wind
that they would like to play
Pink and purple parading in pairs
above a daisy covered shower
among the blades of fresh green grass
a wonderful coloured flower
Brash
Poetry#Fowc #Brash
Thursday 12th September 2019
Perhaps you might call his style “Alternative”
Really, the colour of his suit said it all
Engaging with his electors like an Emperor
Senators, too – fare not that much better
In fact – some might say he treats some with contempt
Democracy, is still alive – it’s just had to make adjustments
Engaging with the man at the top in a different way
Noting his brash persona, but
Taking everything said, with a pinch of salt
