noodles and chicken bites
dance away in the pan
enveloping themselves
in a velvety sauce
with a citrus zing
and even the vegetables
thrown in at the end
cannot match
the sharp bite
of the lemon zest

He’s made a spectacular appearance
while living rent free in his host
no joking about – his arrival makes
the rest of the woodland smile
with his alternative foliage
and while he doesn’t take up much room
to the fauna that lives with the rest of the trees
he really is a fun guy!

watching and waiting
expecting to see
a spot or two of water dropping to
the ground below
hoping for the sun to arrive later so he can
enjoy the warm rays of the sun with some
rather nice sandwiches
made in the kitchen
alongside a sweet bun or two and some
nice bubbly lemonade

on valentines day

#ccc073 #boat #beach #coast #reeds
after a wail of a time
navigating the watery waves
this marvel of the seas is
a casualty of the high winds
looking for some redemption
you’ll find it lying forlorn in the sands
as its fellow vessels carve up the waters

Screenshot c/o WDYS/Richard Stachmann “so what do you want”
he asked her at the vending machine
“something sweet, like you”
she replied
reflections of her smile
shone in the glass
as the tumblers turned
and the bag of sweets
dropped softly down
the call for the film
came over the tannoy
“and what do you want?”
answer given in a glint of gold
and a kiss before the opening credits

#socs #chapter
created to break up the
heavy reading into manageable parts
and allow readers to take in works
piece by piece, so when they
take a break for a cup of tea
everyone can
return to the place they were at

while her kiddies learn
about ocean life at school
shes picking up playthings
and keeping her ocean space
looking like a palace

While Dad did a spot of Do-it-yourself
Mum took the Children for a Spot of Lunch
They followed their Mum down the riverbank
where some of the tastiest fish were waiting
and as they all glided through the water
they dipped down below
for some tasty treats
even returning to their home
with some tasty nibbles for their dad
