The Inkwell#CYW #Peach
Picked from the trees in the hills of Asia
each fruit furry to the touch
and juicy with every bite – just watch out for the stone in the middle
can be eaten on its own, or with custard or cream
hot out of the oven – its wonderful in a pie or a flan
#Fowc #Design
Desired ideas from the craftsmens heads
extruded onto paper
some say its an artwork in itself as
individual pieces of a building, product or vehicle
get shown on paper
noting their structures and little quirks
An acrostic on the colour orange (or is that the fruit orange)
Of course, you all know this colour – its the colour of the fruit
Red meeting yellow in the paint mixing pot
As the two colours come together – colour of
Navel and Seville
Greet you as it hits the paper – its not just in fruit though
Expect to see it on the spice rack or the soup dish
#Fowc #Juggernaut
Just as you thought the
unstoppable force was too
gigantic to stop in its path
greater forces played a hand
expectations were it would run out of steam
reality was no one would see the mighty excavator getting stuck in the
narrowest of passageways
all down to the drive for more sellable goods
unusually – the crews response – shut down and go home
they may find mother nature has occupied it when they return
#cyw #olivegreen #olive #green
Out in the summer sun
Living it up on Grecian shores
It’s like you were made, for the mezze
Vine Leaves and Feta Cheese
Even the tomatoes seem juicier when you’re around
Gem of a fruit of the vine
Roasted lamb seems to like you
Even served as a stuffing
Enjoyed more now – in jars and in pastes but
Never forget – how tasty you are off the vine
#Socs #Check #Cheque
Could they be considered an antique ?
heavy paper saved by plastic
even the kids are using cards today…
cashless society seems to be happening
King cashpoint is worried
Cheque books kept – for those “Special items”
held in value and status
everyone knows that you’re buying a sofa
cheque has to be written – thats why they’re
kept
No denying the dish of the day
every rabbit around has been after
one since the man in the spaceship planted
nine hundred and ninety nine
Colourful seeds in the abandoned field
a whole host of wildlife had a share from
radishes to lettuce – with their extra special glow
rabbits enjoyed the carrots
of course – now they’ve eaten the alien crops
they’re easy to see – just not that easy to catch!
#Relaxation #Elephant #Watering hole
Pampering after a long day in the
african sunshine
catching rainbows in their
homemade bubbles
younger members of the family
directing streams of water towards
either mum or dad
reaction – a rockabye in either trunk while in
muddier spots – hippo’s are happy in their holes
Each line of the elephant’s hide
like its mum and dad before it, has been well earned
each wrinkle in the trunk
positioned from moving fallen trees and
hosing down his brothers and sisters
at the jungle watering hole
now – when you catch his eye – he’ll observe you closely
that’s collected wisdom collected in every wrinkle and ripple

#Airfix #Quickbuild #Model
To pass the time during lockdown – i’ve been building
A few planes and Jet Fighters to pass the time
Now, today i’ve made something a little different
Keep your eyes peeled and you may see what rolled up today
