The Inkwell#Fowc #Gadget
Great Scott!!!
a technological marvel
designed to solve that particular problem in the
garden, kitchen, study – wherever
exception to the rule – is when the magic tool itself needs repair,
there’s a gadget for that – says the smiling technician.
#CYW #MidnightBlue
Moonlight brings a spot of colour to nightime
it brings a touch of blue to a
dreamy scene…highlighting the
number of marshmallow clouds floating
in the sky around the moon
gravitating tween the moon and her reflection in the
half-light dispersed by the water of
the lake below

Should any foolhardy person want to go treasure hunting
it’s not the treasure horde of a
long lost pirate down in that water
view you see is merely Ra peering at himself in a mirror
even if you went down into the depths
reflections would evaporate….and you would only be saying Hi to fish.
There were advantages to dating the short guy
having your date get in for nowt at the cinema as
everyone thought he was your little lad
Small sized portions at the restaurant
half prices all round
on occasion you always were on childrens menu
reactions to the two of you – was what was
the little lad having
Gentleman suitors watching thought it
unusual seeing the two of
you together – till of course they met him.
Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue

Swifter than their feathered brethren – they
welcome the signs of a changing breeze
it means they’ll be off with their cousins the swallows
for some warm air , seeds and sunshine, whilst
taking occasional naps under leafy sunshades
Some might say they float in the air
when these birds have their wings stretched out
imminent signs of departure – remote
for they’ll need to fill their bellies
to have the energy to fly towards the warm sun

#Fowc #Avarice
Although it might seem a great idea at the time,
Vexed questions of how you spend your money abound
As instead of sharing your good fortune,
Reactions to those around you cant be called charitable
In fact, they’re reminiscent of a Dickens character
Christmas can’t come fast enough for you,
Expect a haunting or two come Christmas Eve

Chocolate munching reptile
having a field day in the house he is!
arriving on a mission – to empty larder cupboards –
munching on oranges, strawberries and lemons
even limes take his sweet tooth to 7th Heaven
Lemon sorbet’s and Chocolate cake can’t
escape his grasp
of course – it would be easier if you can see him – it’s
not that easy when he’s disappeared into the woodwork

Sunday 14th June 2020
Ordinary….nothing special…..just your standard run of the mill thing
Real day example, the household shelves at Wal-Mart, Asda or Sainsbury’s
Definition of something churned out in their millions day to day
It’s something or someone – you would never find in the spotlight
Noted though – If they weren’t there – they’d be missed
As you see them nearly every day
Raising smiles when you see them
Yell it out – ORDINARY ? – they’re anything but!
The reality is usually greater than the prize
if you want to leap out of a plane, or over a cliff edge – you
sometimes have to understand the dangers of what you’d call “Fun”
killing yourself in the search for thrills ? Not a great idea.
