As the acrobat flew into the air
Some held their breath
totally transfixed by the mid air cartwheels
only a single rope stopped the artiste seeing
night stars before sundown
incredible feats of daring occurred under the big top
some may have called him foolhardy, but at the end …everybody
hailed the master acrobat and his tip top tumbling act
Right about now
in music classrooms in high schools up and down the land
four piece bands are being formed and
fret boards are taking a hammering
Repeated notes
in ordered formation
fill empty spaces on the musical page
forming a foundation to create something magical
Rythum and Blues follow guitar
in concert halls up and down the land
following the familiar formation
followed by the star playing the guitar strings
This ain’t no restaurant “French toast”
it’s made over burning logs
in the country air
Foundation for the morning
Set against a glorious sunrise
and cups of camp tea
Thick crusty bread
absorbed in a lake of
golden runniness
Bacon awaits its partner
as it cooks away
in its fat
Poor Man’s omelette ?
after a night on the hills
it’s the food of kings.
Knives and forks ?
or eaten as a sandwich
only quandry – sauce Red or Brown ?

So, what makes me Happy ?
Holidays, with clear blue skies
Home, in the winter months
Hopping on a bus , and heading off on a canal trail or two

Sat around the sculpted edge
Petite feathered friends, preen
And pamper, dipping into and
Rolling about, in the clear blue water
Ripples create shapes as
Out and in they hop about,
Water splashing about on the
Surface.

Poem borrowed from my page at Allpoetry.com
A tale a bit crafty, a bit religious, but all by me
Artwork created at Craft Sessions at Brain & Spinal Injury Charity in Salford.
As the Sun comes up,
its light shines through
the panels of coloured glass
angling the now coloured light
painting a picture,
of scenes on a floor
And as the sun shines,
through that brightly coloured window
reds cast with yellows
and greens cast with blues
as molten lead holds on tightly,
keeping the picture alive
