Water by a bank – image from S.C. Vincent
#Writephoto #Still
Sitting by the water , taking in the view
The inhabitants must be sleeping – i thought i’d see a few
In fact all i see is reflections, of the trees a while away
Lined up, all upside down – but seen as clear as day, while
Looking for fish, as i laze away
#FOWC #Rumor
Reading some tittle-tattle in the morning press ?
Unless there’s something that sticks – don’t worry! – It’ll
Make wonderful wrapping for fish suppers tomorrow
Of course – these things come from your actions
Reality will make you make a statement if its true

Salford 16th February
A piece on school visits
Three coaches rolled up in the car park
One blue, one black, one green
Passing auntie, the football and the shops
Traffic jams were no fun
Or Waiting for the man with the sign to
Pass go from stop
There were grumbles getting off the coach
Old Trafford exchanged for the war museum
Pupils listening to sir, bore on
The security …. more of the same, but
Out of a corner….a new name
Person from a new place….change of space
Tanks and planes…new things to see
Objects to touch….and all for free
People to tell tales of air land and sea
And your guide at the entrance is about the space
A person to turn to with a friendly face
Telling a tale of the car, plane and gun
Making your visit a bit more fun
#Fowc #Impossible
Its crazy – you’re given the
Made up puzzle in a box and then
Prise it apart – in order to put in back together again
Of course, they give you a guide – but
Something isn’t right
Something doesn’t fit – and
It’s making you wonder why you took the whole thing out of the
Box – all the pieces are there
Laid out on the table – but who said it would be
Easy ?

Something told you it wasn’t going to be a
Terrific idea to venture onto the hills today, but
Of course you were out voted – as you and your pals
Rambled up the public footpath, seeking out paradise –
Maybe you could discuss what you found in that shelter – Atop the hill
#Fowc #Riddle
Rhymes that pose a question
In verse, or a song or a Rhyme
Difficult posers to ponder
Definitely takes you some time
Long winded questions – with no apparent answer
Except when the bell starts to chime
#Fowc #Advance #Museums
A group of eager young minds
Dropped in on a historical building or two today
Very interested in taking in the displays
And getting a feel of some real items used of the time
Now , anyone could tell their enthusiasm was building as one or two led a
Charge up the stairwell –
Except for one thing – none of them knew their way around!
#SoCs #Holidays
Packing our bags again
as we head off for a country break
camping under some national park stars
key to this essential journey – notepad, camera and pencils
if needed – wellies and wet weather gear
navigation and maps essential for hiking and
good sleeping bag for kipping under canvas
#fowc #sketchy
Some say, there’s the start of a masterpiece in that notebook of hers
Kept in a top draw of her work desk
End pieces for show ? No, but look beyond the layers of random doodle
There’s the beginnings of something that
Could be talked about by art critics for many years to come – but for now
Held away, till she’s ready for the world to see it
You could take a sneaky peek – but you would only see the first splat on the canvas
#fowc #prerogative
Picking out your own path
Really doesn’t need anyones permission
Even if you seek advice
Roads they travel down are down to you
Of course, there will be times you may
Go down the wrong route,
Reaction to that ? It’s part of the learning process
And the final decision is down to you…
There’s always another turn in the road, and
If you don’t like a particular path you can
Veer away from it if you want to
Expect a surprise or two…that’s life!
