Attention to detail
Is important when you are doing things
Scribbling down the wrong location
Can land you in a bucket of hot water
If you’re heading for Liverpool
But end up in Llandudno
#fowc #cabin
14th March 2020
Carefully crafted, from trees that now surround it
a place to get away from the strains of modern life
blessed with a wonderful view of the lakes and streams
in sight of nearby provisions, a short ride away
not forgetting some wonderful animals
#Socs #Choices
Choices you make, can form you later on down the line
How you make them is down to you
Of course, there are many paths to travel, to where you want to go
It’s a decision you have to make…..
Cold or Hot, Coast – Countryside – or City
Even eating, can give you pause for thought
Should you have golden syrup or chocolate sauce on your pancakes ?
#fowc #wait
Time passes slowly
As you sit waiting for the train
To come rolling down the track
And into the station
Timetable isn’t friendly
It’s saying it’s on its way
So to distract you from the empty arrival
Your sat with your radio on play
And each tick that follows tock
Seems to be on a lock
As you wait for whoever forlorn
Listening out for the diesel trains horn
#fowc #tangent
Taking road signs for granted
and following your navigation device – ignoring your own eyes is
notably, a recipe for disaster, as it
goes its own merry way and you
expect it to guide you to your
next destination – you think you’re headed to a sandy southern beach
the reality ? – you’re headed for rocky cliffs and pea shingle
#map #fowc
many a sailor or perhaps
a buccaneer has used one of these in
pursuit of treasure
many you will find,
as a guide for potential explorers
putting their feet across peak district peat bogs
most are a guide for weary travellers
ambling across the uk road network
perhaps they could have taken the train ?
#Sixwordsstory #waiting
Sat out of the weather, Waiting
#fowc #Delay
What is the Rush? Train Stopped
As it sits on Tracks, Locked
I am sat in the station cafeteria
Taking in a tea and cake
In expectation that the
Next locomotive is
Going where I want to go
#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
