Biting the tongue
in an instant,
the tang that is unforgettable
taking your taste buds on a whirlwind
expedition as it journeys
round your mouth
sensational flavour that brings
water to your eyes – as it wasn’t
expected, rising and
elevating each
taste sensation , till you finish the glass.

#Fowc #Aquarium #Fish
A picture of the underwater world
quorums of fish meet up in view of human eyes
under temperature controls
as schools of fish travel around
richly seeded beds of coloured gravel
in search of the fish food, hidden
under each pebble and on each sunken artifact
moving quickly past the glass
#FOWC #District
Down in the city
is a network of streets and buildings
some find it puzzling – so
to aid the visiting traveller
regions of the big city have been broken up
in an attempt to make things easier
city dwellers, can’t see these dividing lines though
to them – we all live in the same place
#fowc #bubble
Bath times they appear
up from the water churned up by the tap
bathroom ducks smiling as they
bobble up and down on the foamy bubbles
looking at one – is like looking at a rainbow on the water
except , unlike a rainbow – these disappear – far too soon
#Coloryourworld #Cyw #Beaver
Behind that pile of logs
Expect to find
A master dam builder
Versatile in river control
Examining each branch, log and twig, before laying them over the
River Bank, to create his construction
#Acrostic #Water
Rising up from the surface
In a kind of domino fashion
Pattern of concentric circles appear
Perpetrated by a pebble
Landing on, and falling through the water
Expanding outwards till they meet another circle when
Small Splashes occur on the surface
#CYW #Bananamania
Looking around my bedroom office
a number of things can be spotted
by the individual markings on
each item on display
like the local library – they’re
sorted by what’s on the label
! so i can access them easier , later.

#fowc #mist
The morning light falls
through fallen marshmallow
difficult to look through
just by looking
lights dipped low
as it slowly whirls around
noting the man in the reflective orange
encouraging you to slow down
familiar landmarks
obscured in the vapour
gravitate closer as you get near
greater fear – the mist gets denser – when
you find yourself chasing shapes
#Fowc #Gratis
Sunday 16th June 2016
Gratuities gratefully accepted, but
Really, the entrance is free
As you wonder around amongst
The artifacts, in the grand building you entered
In fact, by dropping a few pence in the box – you might
Save the costs of preserving the items you walk around
