I was at the dentists on Friday…..
This piece from my allpoetry profile sums it up….If you like it feel free to check out the rest of my submissions for National Poetry Month at allpoetry.com/InkdropK
No matter how you polish and preen
those pearly whites can go unseen
with sticky stuff hiding away
the stuff that likes making holes to play
so dentist takes on this travesty
digging away at a cavity

Pull up a chair, take in a show
As you watch a tale, read to little ones at
Night-time,
There’s a range of characters
On the stage, in bright coloured attire
Making Mirth , for your entertainment
If you’re lucky – they’ll be a
Musical number or maybe magic tricks and
Everyone enjoys the antics of the panto animals
A tale of two neighbourhood cats – c/o my profile on allpoetry.com
Sat on a grassy spot,
someplace by the house
two brothers sit on the outside porch
dreaming about a mouse
They’re waiting for their mum
to serve up summat for tea
and have been playing in the backyard
rolling in the grass with glee
Prowling through the green grass
as not to be seen or heard
pouncing on patches of lawn
hunting for a bird
Climbing on tables and chairs
in their fur all black and white
pondering what’s their catfood tray
thinking – what’s for tea tonight ?

I never really got those markers in the road
why they called them after the pupils of my favourite feline
they followed each other from a to b
leading motorists in the dark
as their eyes lit up
they reminded me of turtles
out in a warmer sea
encased in a hardened case like shell
and saying “hello!” to me

I’ll start at the end for this one ….
These are the counterweights of The quays Millennium Bridge, which connect the Lowry Art Centre on the Salford Side of the bridge to Imperial War Museum North on the Trafford Side of the bridge.

Hexagonal in form –
overall storage space for
nectar collected by the bee
each space brimming with
yellow sweet liquid gold
chances are
outside in the summer sun – you
might just see a prospector of this yummy stuff
buzzing around the nearest bright flower
Salford 9th April
Like a Marshmallow
on a freshly brewed coffee
they float through the sky
Shifting slowly over rooftops
Drifting across morning
over field town and meadow
Swirling through the Morning Sky
moved by winds east and west
strings of candy coloured cloud move
Early morning Sun
Turns pastel blue into Sunrise yellow
As clouds travel toward the hills
Wisps of Water
Moving across Manchester
Heading for Hilltops

It’s not as if an alien were
looking for a landing spot or
leading lights of theatre were performing outside
under portable stage lighting –
moon looks on in awe – as halogen lighting casts
instant brightness down the street
night time glow falls over housing
as orbs of light create silhouettes and shadow
the sky seems brighter somehow
its like the brightness has hidden all the stars
overhead – outside, some place there’s satellites flying
note though – with all the light – you can’t see them
