The Inkwell#fowc #Confession
Cleansing of
Oral admissions
Noted by the angels
For the day of judgement
Expressions of remorse
Said in private but always
Said honestly and in receipt of penance
In an attempt to show an element
Of contrition for the time we
Next meet our maker
#writephoto #wistful
She returned to the moor
every hill a passing memory
veils of tears ran down her face
each time she remembered the angry rant
now she had thrown the ring back at him
she was returning to her cottage – in pieces
Salford. 26th March 2020
In the time’s of this nasty virus
It’s very good to know
Mother nature’s sent out a message
and the birds have said hello
For while we’ve been in isolation
our friends with their wings have flown by
to give us some pleasant distraction
from the news that’s been catching our eye
Each day they’ve come out from their nests
where nearby trees they’ve had their rest
and flew around in a bit of a show
before off to their nests they would go
Sat on a roof or a nearby tree
landing in bird baths happy as can be
and enjoying the garden all for free
taking home worms for their tea.
#fowc #meticulous
Attention to detail
Is important when you are doing things
Scribbling down the wrong location
Can land you in a bucket of hot water
If you’re heading for Liverpool
But end up in Llandudno
#fowc #dependent
Little set of fingers
clutching on to your big chunky finger
they’ll rely on you through schools, tantrums, weddings and all
seeing you as the one who’s big and tall
till one day the table is turned
and they find they have to apply what from you they’ve learned
#CYW #HotMagenta
Its not what you’d call a subtle colour
and it couldn’t be called pink or purple
a fiery marriage where red meets blue
but mother nature seems to like
using their off spring to bring a bit
of eye catching colour to the garden
look around you’ll see it every where else too
in signs, on walls and in windows
the future’s bright – the future’s …. Magenta
#fowc #suspense
There’s an atmosphere growing
around the opposition’s end at a Northern Football Team
their captain scythed down the home team’s star striker
and there were handbags approaching half time
From uproar and arguments, its down to two men
the man in red against the man in green
man in green stands on the line
man in red puts the ball on the spot
Time seems to have stopped
for a moment, silence has fallen
you could almost hear a noisy blade
of windswept grass
The striker starts to run at the ball
the goalie stands his ground
left or right – that decision
that will change the supporters sound
#writephoto #crown
Sat atop the hill of wheat
Circle of stone sits on throw of green
Ancient throne perhaps ?
Regal walk through a field of gold
A crowning glory
Before harvest time
