The Inkwell#Fowc #Gadget
Great Scott!!!
a technological marvel
designed to solve that particular problem in the
garden, kitchen, study – wherever
exception to the rule – is when the magic tool itself needs repair,
there’s a gadget for that – says the smiling technician.
Like a flash in the pan
It appears from the clouds
Going quickly through the atmosphere
Heading for the ground
Thunder noisily telling you that
not that far away – buckets of water will be falling soon
Illuminating that message in brief bursts
Night skies lit up in a spectacular display – it’s
Going to get wet – very soon….
Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue

Maybe, you would call it purple – but there’s definitely
a shade or two of pink hiding in this colour
unless you were looking at it really close up –
very few would succeed to match it up
except of course the guys or girls at the wallpaper warehouse – who
like mixing up the reds blues and yellows
of course you spot its pinkish hues up by fellow plants
up in the garden
shades of pink popping up the yellows, purples and blues

Swifter than their feathered brethren – they
welcome the signs of a changing breeze
it means they’ll be off with their cousins the swallows
for some warm air , seeds and sunshine, whilst
taking occasional naps under leafy sunshades
Some might say they float in the air
when these birds have their wings stretched out
imminent signs of departure – remote
for they’ll need to fill their bellies
to have the energy to fly towards the warm sun

#Fowc #Avarice
Although it might seem a great idea at the time,
Vexed questions of how you spend your money abound
As instead of sharing your good fortune,
Reactions to those around you cant be called charitable
In fact, they’re reminiscent of a Dickens character
Christmas can’t come fast enough for you,
Expect a haunting or two come Christmas Eve
The reality is usually greater than the prize
if you want to leap out of a plane, or over a cliff edge – you
sometimes have to understand the dangers of what you’d call “Fun”
killing yourself in the search for thrills ? Not a great idea.

Fixed moment in time…
relayed in glass
and mounted proudly on the wall
might be an artwork, a certificate or a photo, but it’s something
everyone will enjoy looking at
Converging on the controlled area
everything’s got to be run from there
networks, governance, even your daily shop
the locals who live there feed the machine
really – they have no choice
as every service they rely on is
located in the centre of the metropolis

You can make all kinds of garment from this
A Cardigan, a Hoodie, a Hat or a Scarf
Reaction to their creation – from the kids – a smile
Not forgetting the family cat who’s trying to catch the ball around the room
