Something told you it wasn’t going to be a
Terrific idea to venture onto the hills today, but
Of course you were out voted – as you and your pals
Rambled up the public footpath, seeking out paradise –
Maybe you could discuss what you found in that shelter – Atop the hill
Salford, 13th February 2020
She’s been trying to get your attention for weeks now
but when you try to seek her out
she’s nowhere to be found
perhaps her attempts for you to notice her
went a little too far – as now its become hard to deny
slipping away into the crowd
but sticking out like a glow worm at night
If only – you would turn your head
she would drop her mask and smile at you
#fowc #euphoria
Everybody knows , that
Unless the sky falls down – no bad things will
Penetrate the feeling you have right now – its
Heavenly, you’re walking on air
Orbiting a self – made solar system of your own design
Reality might bring you back to earth tomorrow, but that’s
Irrelevant – you’re living for today
As you lie in the sun on a deserted beach
#Fowc #Riddle
Rhymes that pose a question
In verse, or a song or a Rhyme
Difficult posers to ponder
Definitely takes you some time
Long winded questions – with no apparent answer
Except when the bell starts to chime
#Fowc #Advance #Museums
A group of eager young minds
Dropped in on a historical building or two today
Very interested in taking in the displays
And getting a feel of some real items used of the time
Now , anyone could tell their enthusiasm was building as one or two led a
Charge up the stairwell –
Except for one thing – none of them knew their way around!
#FOWC #Bait #Angler #Lament
The fisher sits on his seat of green,
surveying nets he’s sat in between.
He’s been sat there, since start of the day,
and only caught one – which he let swim away
He hoped by letting go of little fish,
he’d catch some bigger ones to put in his dish.
And as he waited – it came dimmer in th’light
as wispy grey clouds gathered in tight
He cast out two lines, wi hooks brimming wi bait,
casting them out with his arm out straight.
As he looked up to heaven, and awaited fate
all he could do was to sit down, and wait
This Ancient ritual, of releasing the fish,
hadn’t so far caught summat for th’dish
Another cup of tea he pours
Listening to stories on Radio 4,
But, Alas what is this, he hears to the east
above the sound of the Canada Geese?
It’s the sound of laughter, that’s a raisin’
of the big fish, safe, in another basin.

Packing our bags again
as we head off for a country break
camping under some national park stars
key to this essential journey – notepad, camera and pencils
if needed – wellies and wet weather gear
navigation and maps essential for hiking and
good sleeping bag for kipping under canvas
#fowc #sketchy
Some say, there’s the start of a masterpiece in that notebook of hers
Kept in a top draw of her work desk
End pieces for show ? No, but look beyond the layers of random doodle
There’s the beginnings of something that
Could be talked about by art critics for many years to come – but for now
Held away, till she’s ready for the world to see it
You could take a sneaky peek – but you would only see the first splat on the canvas
#fowc #prerogative
Picking out your own path
Really doesn’t need anyones permission
Even if you seek advice
Roads they travel down are down to you
Of course, there will be times you may
Go down the wrong route,
Reaction to that ? It’s part of the learning process
And the final decision is down to you…
There’s always another turn in the road, and
If you don’t like a particular path you can
Veer away from it if you want to
Expect a surprise or two…that’s life!

Salford, 6th February 2020
Choices vary when you’re off on a
hike, getting to a bank of a stream – gives you two
obvious ones – you can turn back and look for another path or
if you’re determined, you can get your feet wet
crossing the water to get where you want to go
eagle eyed scouts – have a third choice – consult the map
