taken into consideration
over years of treatment, therapy, and exercise
reaction to my medical condition could be
taken as torture as
under orders from the quacks I’ve been
really put through the ringer…
even though , looking back, it was doing me good
#Octpowrimo
Crafted from the cocoa bean and
Hot steamed milk
Out of the cold autumnal morning
Comes something warm and satisfying
Only your tastebuds can truly tell why you
Like it so much
As you send a biscuit in
The sweet smelling brew, for a bit of an
Explore

Good news has arrived, so celebrations can begin
Out to the favourite eating establishment
On a weekday evening jaunt
Does it matter work starts again tomorrow ? No!
There’s happiness ahead
In the news that’s been delivered, so we’re
Meeting up with our friends in shared
Excitement
Smiles in abundance

Sat on the corner,
a man sits with his pencils, paper and paints
lovingly capturing local life
for years he’s being perfecting his craft
only using the same palette of colours to bring
reality of the places he
draws in pencil or charcoal to life

Grandfather always wondered
How every time his favourite granddaughter visited
Out in the garden, the traps stayed empty – and
Something furry was nibbling at his prize vegetables
They all seemed to reside by the tree at the back – where the children’s
Swing rested on a branch – his granddaughters favourite spot
Hiding in plain sight on your pizza
Innocent looking vegetable, scattered among the pepperoni
Divided by red onion and tomatoes, that ain’t no sweet pepper!
Devilish kick, and a rise in heat
Encapsulating the tongue
No wonder you’re sweating.

Brightening up my day
Each time i pass them by
Every single one – has a character
If you don’t know what i’m talking about
Now – where have you been ?
They’ve occupied their little
Hives all summer
Each giving those who pass them – a reason to smile
Children and adults all
Investigate with maps
Trailing around the county – and occasionally
Yelling — “I FOUND ONE!”

Located on the bends
of a path worthy of the best athletes workout
two places to take five, sit down
to give those feet a moment, and
enjoy the greenery
relax amongst the trees and take in the fresh air
you’ll enjoy the view, and your feet will appreciate the rest

Breakfast time comes early for
Resident aviators in Salford’s skies
each one has their favourite dish
and some occasionally go for the fish
down below in the waters of the dock
caution though…avoids the shock as
resident birds fall on bread and cake
until the sun through the clouds breaks
maybe they know of the change in the air
but they’re happy being fed … so haven’t a care

Salford, 29th July
Seen through the wide window
Pictures begin to form, captured by the lens
Everyday artworks, appear in a full spectrum of
Colour, bringing life to
The scene in front of you
As you press the button, and release the shutter –
Camera captures your view of things, as you
Looked through the glass in front of you
Exciting events – brought to life in an instant
