In the dawn light of a winters morning
its very hard to see
why the important man with his
very important briefcase
should be stood at the platform
getting covered in snow
if he’d listened to the announcer –
a bus arrived two minutes ago
but he let it pass
and like an ass
he stands there in the snow
in the Dim light of the station
Will he catch his train….hmmm? No.
Salford, Friday 29th December 2017
Camped by a Christmas tree and warmly wrapped in a throw
out of the way of the wind and the snow
Zedding at moments in front of the TV
yet waiting for time that mum and dad call for tea.
you could call it crisp
its definitely dark
stars in the sky night twinkle and spark
out in the distant carpet called space
each cluster of stars don’t seem out of place
and standing like statues,
they watch as snow falls
creating their flurries that land soft but tall
Salford, 11th December
They said the mercury was rising today
Well, someone didn’t inform Jack Frost and his winter imps
For as I write, sat perched in a chair by a radiator
They appear to have left pretty patterns
All over peoples car windows and roofs
Seems like he’s skipped across the skies too,
As there’s a definite blue streak across Salford skylines

autumn leaves (p) Brian F Kirkham 2017
The change in seasonal colour came quickly this year,
some might say the bright sparks at the weather office got caught out
summers hand seemed to draw into the autumn days
and while winter popped up in the chill of the western wind
the leaves stayed green for a week or two more
till one day the trees said they’d had enough
and the leaves 🍁 turned like traffic lights from green to red
taking on tones from amber to orange, from red to brown ,
toughening up to face the hardness of winter
as they dropped to the floor below
and the welcome to walkers travelling on this carpet ?
the crunch of leaves 🍁 saying hello 👋

When i saw this prompt from cees black and white challenge, I
expect you knew the response you see – It’s blooming
Autumn, they cried!
The weather’s bound to be bad, said some we’re gearing up for winter
Hot climates moved back, said others, towards the equator…
Everyone’s thinking of heading where its currently Summer,
Relax – I said, enjoy the White Christmas!
Got to admit, that first layer of frost on the ground
In-stills me with an air of trepidation
Not exactly fear, but as you make your way from here to there
Going across the icy surfaces
Expect a slip or slide or two – especially by the
Roadside pavements where Jack frost refuses to budge
Little steps carefully taken are what’s required here, or
You’ll slip up on that iced up path
<a href=”https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/foggy/”>Foggy</a>
For years it’s been a clarion call,
Over the hills and valleys it falls
Greeting us all, with the message
Get yourselves ready, winters on its way!
you may ignore the creeping fog…but the leaves have already fallen
Summers days seem to be shortening,
As the light gets darker in the sky
Up in the clouds, winter is playing
Seeding them with creations
All designed by himself, and delivered by the
Great winds, of east and west
Expect a drop in the mercury and
Something tasty to keep you warm
IWM Duxford , Cambridge, 5/6/2017
For a brief moment today,
looking around the hangar in Cambridge
I got to see the marvels of flight first hand
Great planes – from early pioneers to new planes and even spaceflight
Hoped to see something special – and I wasn’t disappointed
Tomorrow – i’ll take a look at what I captured
