The Inkwell#Christmas #Dog #Walk
Cooped up inside
He tried his best to enjoy the festivities
Reality is – despite playing with all his toys
Indoors isn’t where he wanted to be
So, he persuaded his owner
To take him for a walk over the
Mossy greens of the local park where
A host of trees and twigs will be played with – on return
Sausages will be found in his bowl – Late gift from Santa Paws!

They said there was something
horrible hiding in the forest
feathers of a crow
claws of an eagle
human face, legs and hands
Making noises around the trees
as she hopped from branch to branch
picking off fruit with glee
and enjoying them for tea
what they didn’t know
was the creature
was she was more frightened of them
than they were frightened of her

The bulb in the thermometer
played a little trick
on those flying and scampering
over the gardens outside
By now they’d be hid in the nesting
or heading to warm places away
but till weather is a little bit colder
around the green grass they will stay
Too warm to just be nesting
but too cold to be hanging around
so they’re divebombing on the birdfeeders
while mice and squirrels are over the ground

There was a great hullabaloo
at the local coastal zoo
the animals were out to play
as Mr Keeper was on holiday
The Lions were playing the rhinos
in a game of five a side
The mummy lions with their cubs
cheering on with pride
The elephants had experienced ice cream
and enjoyed the taste of the fruit
as the penguins watched on, as each ice was gone
the elephants gave a marvellous toot
The bears were visiting their cousins
in their frosty palace by the pool
sharing a dish of the finest fish
while their cubs played away in the cool
The adults on passing were outraged
but the children all laughed and they smiled
as in front of the wall, they saw most of it all
and asked to watch for a while

It had been a while since
any plumber had been down
the cellar to check the pipes
the young apprentice
sent down the cellar
was shocked and surprised
to see what she saw
networks of webs
weaved by the occupants
who had taken the place over
It wasn’t the plumber they were frightened of
more the landlord
for they’d been living down there
rent free for years.
#octpowrimo #cat
Sleeping content
lying on a rug in the corner
enjoying a wonderful dream
engaging with a big wool ball and
playing with it till tea time
you’d play with it more – but miss
cuts of finest ham , chicken or beef ? dont think so
and until your owner calls, your eyes will stay shut
then you’ll dart off to the kitchen – where your meals lie
#WDYS
They say dogs are cleverer than cats
but this one stands tall among the rest
despite the fact he’s rather small
he drives the other dogs bats
for he can skateboard, paint and take on the best
running his opponents for a bone
and while other dogs hit the wall
he’ll take the prize without a moan
#writephoto #bones #dinosaur
The box simply read “unknown”
Bits of various dug up bone
Parts of the prehistoric puzzle
that didn’t match up with
triceratops or stegosaurus’s jigsaw
samples taken – no definitive answer
so they took a rest – in cotton wool
while the t-rex and others sat under starlight
questions remained
as professors hunted for clues
but where would they start – and what would they do
was this a relative of a creature running free?
or parts of a dinosaur – a T-Rex had for Tea?
#CYW #Beaver
Builder of some wonderful constructions
every day he’s going down stream for materials
and crafting them so they adapt to his home
versatile in the way he places each stick
each one having its own purpose
rivers brooks and
streams keep moving – but he’s directing the flow
Nobody can see me from here
i’m tucked up tighter than any ball of wool
in my spot on the corner
it’ll take the sharpest of eagle-eyes
to find me where i am
and if i can’t see where i am
they can’t either
