#fowc #plant
27th November 2019
An acrostic about a plant
Perhaps the greatest thing to come out of the ground
likes to brighten the garden and the air around it
as it recycles the carbon out in the air
note – it doesn’t take much applause , for what it does
though it does appreciate a daily watering and some food now and then
#CYW #Cornflower
colourful flowers crowded on the corner
cared for by the colourful yellow insect
collecting copious cups of nectar
checking each and every petal to
create honey from the cornflowers, back in the hive
#fowc #root
the source of the plant
grown from the seed
fed from the soil
Out of Sight
Unseen by most
till dug by the gardener
keeping those flowers
in perfect bloom
all the way to autumn
Special roots – Cleaned
and cooked in the oven
are tasty in stews
Edible Garnish
for the Sunday Roast,
sweet, juicy, tasty
As its the start of winter, at the toolshed (home of the inkwell)
A piece of artwork on seasonal migration….some of the birds have flown south
The ducks, geese and swans (as usual) have decided to stay by the canal basin
(Attracted no doubt by the free feed cast across the centenary walkway ! 🙂 )
Poem 2 of the word art project – If there’s a topic you would like me to cover – drop me a line on here THANKS!

#Autumn #Signal #Nature #Frost #Ice
The weather’s changing, so I created this colourful arty piece with bits from an old notebook….enjoy the read

As the Mercury retreats towards its bulb, i’ll be creating more of these.
#fowc #trash
The amount of
Rubbish heading for
An underground site is (believe it or not)
Shrinking day by day – thanks to
Helpful bin collectors
They’ve separated the paper, plastic and glass
Recycling them into new materials
And Stainless Steel and Aluminium is
Separated out before being melted down and
Headed back to the factory for turning into new items
#fowc #carriage
Sat by the platform
it waits for the sign as
gentlemen and ladies alike
now make their way to their furnished cabins
a wonderful journey to places wonderful
lakes mountains and streams – but they have to wait for the flag
#FFFC #Room #Camera #Press #Photo #Assignment
Sat upstairs in their hotel room since breakfast
They’re waiting for their target
In pursuit of a picture for the morning paper
Note : they’ve come prepared – camera’s armed and ready
Gloriously luxurious gown for her, suit tie and tails for him

Heavens above! is it Christmas already ?
Of course not….there’s five more weeks till then, but
Look around you and you’ll already see
Instant signs the festive season is almost here
Decorations, presents and Festive Food
All over the place, and yet – when Boxing Day gets here
You’ll all be talking about your two weeks in the sun
