playing around with his feathers
Balanced on one leg
Waiting for that moment
When the keeper comes in
And throws another shovel
Of fresh Morecambe shrimp
Into the water

#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
#Socs #Song
It’s been really quiet recently.
Actors and musicians have been in their rooms
the theatres have closed because of a bug
no buskers on the street either
Something needed to be done
resident birds calling out in tune
celebrating the sunshine
telling the human beans indoors
it’s time to get up
Cats on a street pavement
Singing in chorus
On a street corner
Dogs howling at the moon
wailing a familiar tune
out in the midnight garden

The bears move house
As regular readers of my blog will know, I’ve been shifting things around to accommodate my new bits of aerial artwork, namely my quickbuild planes from airfix
They’re now all happily parked on the top of my bookshelves, so when little paws show up with my sister…they won’t get accidentally broken
However, this has meant the little Disney toys I picked up from the Disney store in Manchester have had to find a new spot to sit.
They’re now sat on a lower bookshelf looking after the books, which they’re sat in front of. This means my nephews can pick them up and play with them as they want, without disturbing any of the squadron.

Salford, 30th April 2020
Drifting into a lovely dream
resting on a hundred or more feathers and a few more bouncy springs
in time i’m picking toffee apples off a nearby tree, and
four and twenty cartoon animals are joining me
to have the wonder of all picnics
in time – i’ll be going back to the run-of-the-mill routine
not until the alarm bell
goes off beyond the garden
Goats taking over llandudno (print by inky from original photo by A.Stuart)
Salford (Via Llandudno) , 31st March 2020
A tale of Goats in the welsh town of Llandudno, written by inky,
inspired by an ITV News article :
The Goats are taking over
and they’re heading into town
they’re happy to play, no-one to chase them away
for their shepherd’s gone to ground
The cars have abandoned the tarmac
so they’re running down the road
chomping on box wood and flowers
in their new abode
The goats are taking over
whilst the people are indoors
they’re coming down from the mountains
the pastures and the moors
The humans are all in their houses
so the goats have left hills for their tea
munching on grasses and heather around
as happy as can be on the ground
#Promptuarium #Hauntedgrove
Haunted forest ?
a likely story !
up till now – she’d believed the tales her brother told her
not realising ,
the creatures in their homes in the trees were
even more frightened of her – and in the
dark – it was just the forest creatures looking out
#Fowc #Ivory
An acrostic in response to fandangos one word challenge by Inky.
It’s found in various jungles,
very few animals don’t have it
often found in the mouth you see
really the hunters shouldn’t go after it – they would
yell the trees down if the animals went after theirs
