The Inkwell
Something to brighten up the borders
of your garden as the leaves on the trees start to
roll around in the autumn wind
the gardeners call it pink, the flower buffs call it purple
of course, while it’s still in
flower – nobody minds what shade it is – it still looks lovely by the lawn

Hard rain fell from the skies
aiming to fall on northern plains
“it’s dangerous this falling ice”, said a
legionnaire to his centurion – so quickly they took cover

Where she’s heading – nobody knows
as she sits waiting for her connection
indications on the ticket give a rough idea
till you mention other ways out of the station
in a sprawling web of transport links
navigation could lead to Macclesfield or Scarborough
getting there – requires a train – it hasn’t arrived yet

Perhaps the imps were out last night
up where the slate rocks lie
reactions to the sun falling on the hills
people are pleased with what they see on the eye
lilacs , lavenders and amethyst shades – all those and much more
everyone visiting loves the scene – so off they do explore

A Sign that winters on the way
Up in the trees, the leaves colours are changing
There hangin’ on to their branches for dear life but
Unless you haven’t noticed – greens have been swapped for
Mostly Reds and Browns, with yellows inbetween
Note though – occasional splashes of crimson – Christmas coming early ?

Brimming with reading material
Old and new
Often hardbacks but sometimes paperbacks
Kindles and other consumable electronics on one bit
Softbacks, toys and notebooks for scribbling on another
Hardwired in the centre – a music box
Entertaining the listener with comedies and audiobooks
Life portrayed in photo and sound digitally
Filed away in a box of digital media cards

Losing your mind
as you travel its paths
breadcrumbs won’t help you here
you’ll need something a little bit sturdier as you make your way
round the puzzle
if you manage to get to the centre
next thing you’ll need to do is to make your way out
that will take a while – of course
help always comes from a helpful park ranger
#Fowc #Cordial
Crafted from the finest grapes, raspberries and blackcurrants
Out of the copper kettle it came
Reinforced with herbs and spices , not forgetting the sugar
Drank in a ceramic mug
It’s something to be enjoyed either hot or cold, but
As its Autumn, and Winter is around the corner
Likelihood is you’ll be warming your fingers around the mug holding it
