#CYW #RedViolet

Sat on the park bench
In an effort to enjoy his sandwiches, Charlie brown
Reacts with a smile – to the girl who caught his
Eye….the girl with the red hair
Now – tomorrow – he might go over and talk to her
from inkdrop – poetry, places and events
#CYW #RedOrange
I’d call it the colour of autumn
a sign from the leaves on the trees
that winter is on its way
the mercury is retreating ,
and something a little colder is replacing
the warm colours
its pleasing to the eye
for it is the last we’ll see of the deciduous leaves
till spring
#weather #cold #frost
Father christmas had been and gone, his
reindeer now making a beat towards the stables
outside, in the dark –
someone was playing whilst others slept
taking water from the air and leaving patterns on everything he touched
waiting was a bit of a chore
As rooms were decorated
And brightly coloured trees
Waited
For Christmas presents to be placed
At their feet
Church bells rang out
For the saviours birthday
While a host of beasts
Were prepared for a festive feast
Sweet treats
Hanging from the tree
Sweet as the pudding
Served after tea
The Lancashire Elf
A Christmas Tale for readers of the Inkwell
Happy Christmas Everybody! Inky.
Up there in Lapland,
where its Christmas all day
a strange kind of elf,
has decided to play
Santa’s perplexed, as he’s really quite tall
but the other elves round him are having a ball!
When reaching up high, they call for his aid,
and putting toys on high shelves, he’s made the grade
He’s good for woodturning and chopping down wood
and making new toys ? He’s really quite good.
foreman found him in th’forest – and he said he’s for hire
– he comes from a forest – called “Lanky – Shire”
The other elves love him, they think that he’s grand
as their big pal “lanky” gives everyone a hand
and its not just toymaking skills that he’s got
he’s cooking up dinner – he calls it “Hotpot”
And come Christmas eve when the elves they do pack,
“lanky” is there to fill Santa Claus’s sack
This great big elf, makes every kid smile
as he helps dear old Santa go the extra mile

A winters night
Dark and crisp
Veil of cloud covering like a blanket
Exciting times round the corner, but
Nourishment required…to go with the cheese
Toasty bread, heavily buttered

Up on a shelf i spotted a conversation taking place
my little lego man talking to one of my model bears
compared to some of my other old bears – he’s the smallest
but compared to the lego men – he’s huge 🙂
Fortunately, the lego man sits on a spot where he won’t go to pieces
Sat by a soldier in his guards post, where he’s watching the airfix planes 🙂
#Poetry #Writeclub #Rules #School
Stop Fidgeting, keep hands on the table
then pick up the pencil and solve if you’re able
the exercise given on the chalk board
and follow the teachers instructions to the horde
Treat your books with respect – and you will pass
don’t scribble or leave them lying on the grass
lose them and your folks will be paying a fee
and that will upset them – im sure you’ll agree
Listen to the masters, don’t yell or talk
or heading your way, a piece of chalk
Don’t use the paper for summat to throw
for if you do outside the door you will go
Acting like banshees in the playground again
or fighting will find you standing in rain
Running down corridors – you might slip or fall
or finding your self stood silent by a wall
Educations important – mum and dad say,
but when sun is fine – the kids wan’t to play
With all these rules – the kids start to cuss
it’s a wonder why we turn up for the annual fuss?
I
MMXX
a tie to the past
using an old numerical system
to tell you the year
and maybe the time
II
On a mission to bring Modernity
the diggers uncovered Tesserae
made from local clay
as architects called the uni
and builders downed tools for the day
III
They found some old spearheads, made by a legionnaire
and a clasp of a broach of a resident there
they said it were roman, as they found roman gold
and deduced they were at a market – where things were sold
IV
But as they kept looking – more modern things
were found by the roman antquities in the wings
Some shillings, and marble, a hammer, a thimble
found by a digger, who was quite nimble
V
And while the roman stuff goes to the big place
holding dinosaurs and plates
the modern stuff is staying in a place by the gates
so the people can see what was held in the ground
and the story of the objects that were found all around.
