#fowc #Disaster
The islanders were not aware
the fates would turn their watchful glare
on them
The beast below was fast asleep
till something made it jump and leap
near them
And from the ground – and covering rock
the lava rained – giving people shock
round them
and rescuers gathered around
with every naval ship abound
to them

Getting to the top
of your personal mountain
isn’t the achievement
next thing is
getting the balance to stay there
New targets in sight
often come from
winning the original battle
however, despite how
easy you might see it
reality is – having reached the top
expect a challenge on your spot
#writeclub #cake
Could there be
a moment in the day when i could
kick the idea of
eating cake into the long grass ? Hardly
Cleverly crafted from eggs, butter, flour and sugar
and served up steamed or out of the oven
kitchen filling with the waft of fruit or
everyones favourite accompaniment – custard!
Chocolate, Carrot or just plain sponge
a wonder with jam and sponge in the middle
king (or queen) of puddings
enjoyable at any time of day
#fowc #instant
Instant gratification
noodles and vegetables
swimming in a flavoursome pool
tasty little number brought to life by the
application of just the right amount of hot water
now – don’t forget – stir it up or you’ll find
there’s lumps at the bottom of your cup (you dont want that)
It’s just the thing on a winters morning
Noted for the quickness in its preparation
Some aficionados might complain its not “The real thing”
Though if you checked the ingredients
And looked – Milk, Sugar, Cocoa – its all there
Noses attracted by the Chocolatey waft
That travels through the house from the Kitchen
#SocS #Day #Rain
Rainy Days ?
They happen more than less at my home town
thing is people casually forget
the city and county i live in – has a number of rivers and canals
when the sun comes out this causes evaporation
and occasionally formation of the odd cloud or two
yes, they tend to drop when they’re not wanted
but the stuff that falls keep the wells and reservoirs full
and when the time is right, putting a pair of
bright red wellies on and splashing in the puddles
is great fun.

Approach
#writephoto #approach
It didn’t look so grand on the photo
but now you’ve made your way past the gate
your weeks accommodation
is looking ever so elevated
and as you approach the keep gate
masked by the fog and trees
the thought of being lord or lady of your own manor
is coming to fruition
#Garden #Animals
As fresh green grass
shoots up through hardened soil
winged squadrons
practice their manoeuvres
carefully
Nose diving into bird baths
splashing in the rainwater
searching out seeds
or occasional
Earthworm
with all this fun
caution – is in the air
those wing commanders better beware
for the resident puddytat
is watching – with a knowing stare!
#wdys
Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
