6th April 2020
While i was busy sketching away
in the kitchen, dad was busy
zipping around with tomatoes and beef
and carrots and onion, creating a wonderful dish, based
round the pasta shells that were
dancing away in boiling water, and a little olive oil

Every mechanic knows – it’s
Not the wheels , but the engine that
Get’s a driver from A to B
It’s truly – the heart of any transport
Naval, bus, car or motor bike
Exception – if you’re reliant on foot or pedal power

To many, it’s better than Sunday Lunch
Over the country, they’ve been cooking under the grill
A combination of Ham and Cheese, and sometimes tomato
Sitting under the grill and combining to make a
Totally tasty treat
Instantaneous flavour from bite to bite
End to scrumptious end
#Fowc #Tonight
Salford, 4th April
The city lights are sparkling
only, there’s no one human around
night time antics restricted, leisure venues closed
in an attempt to curb a horrible bug
great news for the feathered and furred residents –
hopping and skipping about the place
till restrictions are lifted
#Writephoto #together
They’re quite a team – the Sun and the Moon
On the whole they’re quite phenomenal
Giving the people that live on Mother earth, summat to look at
Each day they work either side of this blue jewel
The Sun giving light to one half while the Moon shines on the other
Helping fishermen land their catches, and Night workers to find their way home
Earth helping both by turning around
Rotating to catch the light
Salford , 2nd April 2020
Someone is hovering over Salford’s bins
every day they’ve been seen – on spying missions
and some say – they’re worse than the pigeons
gracefully flying through the skies
until the bins on the waterside are
looking full – likelihood is – they’ll chance their
luck – with a lass coming home from the chippy
#writephoto #wistful
She returned to the moor
every hill a passing memory
veils of tears ran down her face
each time she remembered the angry rant
now she had thrown the ring back at him
she was returning to her cottage – in pieces
#fowc #Collaborate
Coming together – master of their crafts
on a mission – to craft a
labour of love,
local writers and poets – some
amateur, some well known professionals
bring together an opus of work to
orderly gander at
read at your leisure
and raise a smile at the
talent on every page
its available for a small donation to charity
of course – their all buying a copy for themselves
noting the day they came together – to create something special

Thursday 19th March 2020
Carrying on like they were in nirvana
Alert – the bouncers on the door
Rowdy – you’d call their behaviour – as they left the
On-licence publican’s for a place a little bit incognito
Under each of the revellers arms
Something rich, and red and alcoholic to go with their meal
Expect some fun and games at the Bring your own bistro
#Fowc #Browse
Bookstore owners are getting upset
Reality is their customers are using the stores more like a library
Objecting to paying full price for their wares
When they know they can pick up a free copy from the web
Simply by clicking a button on their devices
Even now – they’re not picking off the shelf – they’re noting down titles
