People
Look quite solid, when we are born
As we grow up, things change
Shaped by our elders, our teachers, our friends
Then formed by experience
In time, a degree of fluidity comes into play
Creativity, expression, emotion and love
Inscribed onto our characters and
New relationships…creating new
Experiences

#octpowrimo
taken into consideration
over years of treatment, therapy, and exercise
reaction to my medical condition could be
taken as torture as
under orders from the quacks I’ve been
really put through the ringer…
even though , looking back, it was doing me good
#octpowrimo #acrostic #seasheep #underwater
Something on the seabed
enjoys the fare the simple algae provide
as the sea grass grows under their feet
something like what you’d see on the moors enjoys a feast
hopping around the sea bed and
eating his greens…much like a similar beast
existing above the water
perhaps that’s why he’s got a similar name

Good news has arrived, so celebrations can begin
Out to the favourite eating establishment
On a weekday evening jaunt
Does it matter work starts again tomorrow ? No!
There’s happiness ahead
In the news that’s been delivered, so we’re
Meeting up with our friends in shared
Excitement
Smiles in abundance
Woken up by waterworks
On the mark of quarter to five
Kept awake by the familiar sound of
Excited cats finding food on the
Night prowl
Unless my head hits the
Pillow soon, i won’t be good to anyone
As pins and needles bite my feet
Golden slumbers seem far away
Aching bones rest on a thousand pocket springs
In a vain attempt I’ll sleep through the rest of
Night time

Brightening up my day
Each time i pass them by
Every single one – has a character
If you don’t know what i’m talking about
Now – where have you been ?
They’ve occupied their little
Hives all summer
Each giving those who pass them – a reason to smile
Children and adults all
Investigate with maps
Trailing around the county – and occasionally
Yelling — “I FOUND ONE!”

Red poppies are flowing down the top of the earth shard of IWM North
Each poppy was created to remember those who fell in the war to end all wars
Memorial to the host of soldiers who went to the front
Expecting to be home by Christmas
Men not only from the home nations,
But the commonwealth and allies from Europe too
Regiments who met and fought on a field in flanders
As part of the first world war centenary, this artwork is a
Noted reminder, of those who went away to fight and
Came to rest in a foreign field
Each one remembered in the symbol of the poppy
IWM North, September 2018
an acrostic poem by inkdrop, on the newest arrival in the Main exhibition space of
IWM North in Trafford….
Made up at the Locomotion works in Bolton
A Machine to bring terror to the enemies eyes
Thundering across land and desert
Hot on the tail of any enemy Infantry
In time, tales would be told about her and her thundering wheels
Launching shells and ammo towards the enemy
Dangerous ? all missions are aren’t they
Allies relying on this mighty armoured tank

#Food
a foodie acrostic, by inky
Carefully crafted by cooks of the highest order
A combination of the finest root vegetables , stock and seasoning
Rotating slowly in a silver pan until the
Root veg is just right, you can eat it as it is
Or stick a blender in the pan to make it nice and smooth
To pour into a serving turrine

Another piece inspired by the #Promptuarium
Many thought you a funny kid
On most nights they’d see you staring into space
Overlooking the positions of the stars and the zodiac
No other subject interested you more
Destiny ? to be the first man to live – on a base on the moon
Until then – you sit out in the garden – plotting your way there
Satellites floating in zero gravity over your head as you
Track your course with telescope, pencil and paper
