Looking around my bedroom office
a number of things can be spotted
by the individual markings on
each item on display
like the local library – they’re
sorted by what’s on the label
! so i can access them easier , later.
Poetry
Silkscreen
Poetry#fowc #Silkscreen
I watched in awe
as the picture I brought
was brought to life on a tee-shirt
Slowly coming together
colours red, yellow, blue
forming a picture on fabric
i’d captured on camera
Plain light sandy T-shirt
the canvas for something
much more colourful
a walking masterpiece
Mist
Acrostic, Poetry, Weather17th June 2019
#fowc #mist
The morning light falls
through fallen marshmallow
difficult to look through
just by looking
lights dipped low
as it slowly whirls around
noting the man in the reflective orange
encouraging you to slow down
familiar landmarks
obscured in the vapour
gravitate closer as you get near
greater fear – the mist gets denser – when
you find yourself chasing shapes
Reflection
Poetry#fowc #reflection
Who’s that looking at you
As the image looks back
The image seems familiar
Except of course when
Ripples move across the way
My My! who is that, I call out
Inspecting the visage needing the
Razors attention in the morning
Ripples occur in the sink as the blades go in and
Out of the warm water
Razor cut hairs floating on the surface
Bargain
Fashion, Poetry#Fowc #Bargain
If it’s what you’re after
its the deal of the day
you’re keeping half the price
in your little pink purse
for getting to wear all
of that little black dress
Homework
Poetry#Fowc #Homework
The children hate it
loaded with work from teacher
sat by the table
a list of adding up
writing stuff on countries far
and reading practice
Mum and Dad Helping
with the really big questions
Multiplication
Atomic Tangerine
Food, Fruit, Poetry#CYW #Atomictangerine
As they shook up the bottle of fizzy fruit juice
A fantastic reaction began
Bubbles rose up to the top of the bottle
Bursting to escape
Crazy idea – of the kids – was releasing the bottles
Cap – with the addition of air – reaction was complete
Destination for the neon orange liquid – No one knew – they all
Dived for cover – as fizzy orange rain fell
Expectation – the vegetable patch
End result – over Grandpa’s prize white roses
Mind the Gap
Accidents, Poetry, Transport, Travel#Fowc #Gap
The warning signs tell you
Mind the gap
but to some
it seems an elaborate trap
for all those important
seem to step over line
the message isn’t for them
to them – all is fine
but you find yourself making
an emergency call
as one ignores the gap
and one of them falls
Inherit
Acrostic, Poetry#fowc #Inherit
It’s that time in your life
noting the change – you’ve had the keys but now
hold the deeds – you own the whole thing
expectations , all down to you
running the show the way you want it
it’s yours – so take care of it
the bills are all in your name
Asparagus
Colours, Food, Poetry#CYW #Coloryourworld #Asparagus
A piece by inky with a little bit of art…..
The woody stalk
popped up from the earthy soil
and began a race
Seven other green spears
headed headlong to the sun
as the flowers watched
Prize to the Victor?
they’re Basted in Butter,
On Silver Salvers
