from inkdrop – poetry, places and events
taking a moment
out of a busy morning
brings out a broad smile
taking up the time
to bring colour to a pic
improves the thinking
life brought to drawings
in a matter of minutes
with paints or pencils
You cooked the chicken
in the warmth of the hot oven
while the sauce bubbled
flavours, sweet and sour
clung onto the crispy coating
of seasoned chicken
peppers, tomato
onion and pineapple meet
on fragrant rice beds
zingy sensations
tingle the taste buds as you
start to chomp chicken

It might be a bit
Off the page
they don’t know you
and you don’t know them
but a simple smile
might just make
someone else’s day
Warm summer days
happily spent by the sands
often included a fish supper
perhaps an ice cream, toffee apple or candy floss
poppa bears remedy to all this yummyness
exercise climbing the hill back to our place of rest
returning to our elevated apartment

From the vantage point, you can see it
look at the way it moves
over obstacles in its way
water just moves
Finding its way till
lands in another spot
occasionally resting by a bank till
wait to move cannot be supressed
Falling over the rocks and stones
looking on the granite and pebbles
over where they pass
watch on in envy
Fix your eyes on the water, as
lots of fish, big or small head
over the current
where new adventures await

You spent an age
planning this out
reaching for a goal
you wanted to achieve
and each handhold
and foothold
made you rise up
to new heights
and the prize of a view
at the top of the rock

in the sunshine
children whooped with delight as
elevating the glass
Coloured bubbles
rose up towards the sky as
expecting kids saw
a flavoursome show with Vanilla
mixing with lemonade
Strawberry syrup
over the ice cream
delightful addition creating
additional colourful bubbles

While Uncle Darth was working
he left his little un to play
we played lots of his favourite games
so his mind didn’t go astray
He liked to play with the models
the one’s his pop liked to fly
and we watched as he made them fly about
whilst keeping warm and dry
He was very good at the board games
and preferred black squares to white
and i watched him move pieces without touching
his favourite pieces ? the knights
At lunchtime, he helped with the sandwiches
and layered tomatoes, with cheese and ham
before going to town, turning sandwiches brown
with a show of his saber going kazam

While the others
Were munching their luncheon
A Stripey Savannah Star
Was looking longingly down
The cameramans lens
Wanting to appear
on the evening T,V
a sprinkle of stardust
he’d be famous over the sea
on a Nature Documentary – On BBC
