Doing schoolwork when the sun is shining is
A bit of a chore – and kids have been doing it for
Years, staring out the window
Doodling sheep out of the clouds
Reactions from the teacher ?
Expected, but getting angry won’t grab their attention
As the warm rays cast onto the tables of the classroom
Making colourful rainbows across the table

Ra passed by his friends the clouds
as the earth turned Northern skies from Day to Dusk
in travelling from west to east
newly formed stratus went pink in surprise
by ra’s disappearance to a temperature rise
out on eastern skies began the day
while in northern skies moon and stars they played
.

mish mash of marshmallow skies
summer seems so far away
as angry grey cloud looms overhead
but out in the distance
as if playing peek a boo 👻
the sky pops through the clouds
all clearest and blue

Salford 9th July 2018
The light little cirrus and stratus
help themselves to their
own little place in the sky
until the cloud departs they’ll be overlooked by the
great thinker of the skies himself – cumulonimbus – who’s
happily floating over the air
thinking about their next destination
some might call them Marshmallows, others call them ‘thought stores’

#sky #weather #blue #trails #stratus
Whilst planes, birds and balloons traverse in the sky
in the air the clouds mark their movement
swiftly making their way throught the blue
peppering the sky with all sorts of clouds
stratus – the long thin ones trail across the sky
#In light of the lack of a fresh writing prompt – i’ve poached this one from the wordpress e-book – 365 Writing prompts….enjoy….inky.#
Salford 16th June 2018
Inclement is how the weathermen would have put it
the weather itself couldn’t make its mind up
the sun was out – the birds were tweeting – and everyone was content
that was of course till two sets of clouds collided into one another
and slowly, but surely, small waterdrops began to fall from the sky
pitter pattering into puddles – easily covered by peoples umbrellas
until the raindrops sped up – and turned into stairrods
filling up birdbaths and heading for waterways
the quickest way they could
ladies and gents diving for cover under the nearest shelter
till quick as it arrived – the stairrods departed
and cotton-wool clouds replaced the grey ones
while birds enjoyed the relax
in a pool provided by the cloud
Salford , 2nd March 2018
A whole host of clouds float in
blue skies
over your head
very interesting to look at, but
expect some water to fall if any turn grey

Tuesday afternoon.
Marshmallows floating over Greater Manchester
Take away the blue in the sky
and those clouds seem to develop
like a photograph in a laboratory
the clouds grow and move become more defined
and you find yourself looking for sleeping cherubs
In response to https://ceenphotography.com/cees-challenges/fun-foto-challenge/
Starting off with a Colourful one, taken at a session of the photography group Basic Clicks – Six Colourful Carrots on Blue Canvas!
here’s a couple of interesting Cutlery pieces – the first is of four forks against a wall, – i liked the shadows created in this pic.
Combination of ideas here, with a twist – Spirals of Cutlery , set on canvas.
Still life shot of various vegetables set out on a slate Cheeseboard, some onions (white and red), a tomato, a cut Cabbage and the return of one of those Carrots we saw earlier
Now fellow wordpressors might have seen this one before, but as its cees photochallenge, i thought i’d put it on here – not for the wonderful bridge (that’s the wrong letter folks!!!) but for those fluffy white marshmallow clouds , over looking the quayside at Salford, attached to the Manchester ship Canal.
Last but not least, here’s a close up of a cornflower – i like this one because of the colour!
as the sun says peek a boo
over multi coloured high rises
for an hour or two
Skies turn into confectioners delights
as cotton candy clouds turn from white to blue
with occasional shades of pink or yellow
Another cloud poem
