The Inkwell
Something to brighten up the borders
of your garden as the leaves on the trees start to
roll around in the autumn wind
the gardeners call it pink, the flower buffs call it purple
of course, while it’s still in
flower – nobody minds what shade it is – it still looks lovely by the lawn

Where she’s heading – nobody knows
as she sits waiting for her connection
indications on the ticket give a rough idea
till you mention other ways out of the station
in a sprawling web of transport links
navigation could lead to Macclesfield or Scarborough
getting there – requires a train – it hasn’t arrived yet
#Animals #Cats #Kittens
Inspired by the Salt & Pepper Design Team, i’ve been writing acrostics and poetry using some of their fab graphic fonts – I posted “Doggies” last week, so here’s something less canine, more feline
Acrostic, by Inky – Font c/o Salt & Pepper Designs
Perhaps its my inner pooh-bear
at play but i’m
crazee about these
happy jungle animals
you’ll see they have big ears and long noses
definately adept at reaching fruit and nuts
elevated in the tallest trees
really high up
many seen in the jungle, but also seen elsewhere
#Acrostic #Model #Plane
Royal air force display team plane
engineered by the modellists
designed to fit together – without any glue
As things go – it was
Really easy to put together – snapping together
Red white and blue flag on the tailfin
Only cause for concern
When the plane falls from its perch – putting it back together
Perpetually found in a christmas pudding
luscious fruit sweet, with a stone in the middle
usually found in a jar in a jam or
made into a sauce and served with Dim Sum

#Socs #Milkshake
Maybe its the
illuminating colours i
like about them, but i
keep returning to the coffee shop
slurping them down and
having a marvellous time
allying icecream, banana, and the freshest milk
kept cold in an ice cold frosty refridgerator
enjoyable on any seasonal day
#acrostic #lockdown
Magpies are having a field day
as the neighbourhood still sleeps
nipping on and off the rooftiles while
cats on the ground they creep
household activity – minimum
everyone’s taken to bed, for
somebody said there’s a lockdown, so
they’ve decided to rest their heads
even the stadiums are empty – no fans to follow the score
reality needs them return now – so the teams can hear them roar
