The Inkwell
A Knight rode fast through Lindos town
looking for a damsel in distress
alas he ended up wearing a frown
as dogged merchants in their dress,
elated to see him, selling their wares
emptying his pockets without any cares
so instead of a bed – he’s sleeping with his horses inth’ yard
resting his head on bales of straw hard
#Writeclub #Lockdown
Written by Inky on 25th August as part of a writeclub exercise.
They say its back to normal
no matter what the lab says
its time to get back to business
and money making ways
But walking round the lanes and streets
it seems the people that you meet
haven’t quite grabbed the ministers task
they’re walking around – still wearing a mask
And they’re calling the vollies, that mightiest of crews
to aid in a time, of the grimmest of news
but watch as the grimace begins to show
when co-ordinators all are told, sharply, no.
Perhaps they’ll find that antidote
and maybe they’ll think – next time they vote
for walking around with the bug in the air
instead of thinking of health – its piggybanks there
#SoCs #Sharp
Some say Like a bright yellow lemon
Hot headed ? Far from it….
As your aim at your targets are pinpoint
Rapier like wit and a brilliant mind and good looks
People should look out – you’re not just a pretty face
#Fowc #Encounter #Rhino #Zoo
Armour Plated cousin of
Our dear old friend the horse
Lives off lots of green stuff
and fruits and berries of course!
With that great big horn on the end of his snout
you’d be careful when he starts running about
but he’s friendly to all who visit his lawn
and the keepers who look after his shiny white horn

That Final Piece of the Jigsaw….
#fowc #odd
Out of the Ordinary ? – Perhaps
Definately what you would call – one of a kind
Doing things against the norms
Of all in its number
Destined to be uniquely on its own
Divide it – there’ll always be something left over
#CYW #PacificBlue
When i see you around
i’m reminded of warm summer days
and the waters of the ocean
lapping the sandy shore
Attracting the sportsmen
playing about for fun
in their watersports gear
Motorboats and Jetskis
tearing a white wave
through your dark blue waters
Your Colours more deep
than your Mediterranean cousin
but seamen still hang around your deep shades
hoping to land that one in a million catch
If anyone saw your recklessness
bounding from flower to flower
pinching the finest nectar from each one
I’m pretty sure – they’d be shocked
no wonder the bees are fed up
but people see your pale orange wings
and just smile
not knowing you’ve just done a heist in the garden
#Fowc #Drain
Delving down the plughole
revolving in a never ending spiral
as the water travels
in perpetual motion
night after night, down the pipes towards the cleaning plant
#CYW #Outerspace
ever wandered why the aliens keep on landing on earth ?
seems there’s something special here you just cant get
tween Jupiter and Saturn on their burger buns
space dust from the crab nebula and
particles of planet dust doesn’t quite match
the taste you get from the special sauce on a terran burger
or a “fillet of fish”
maybe that’s why they keep making so many return visits!
