You could call the mural – sensational
most definately original
a throwback to the days of Orwell and the Wigan Pier
Modern day politicos and trendsetters
Painted on a canalside wall
More Lenin than Liverpool
and while the decorators decide what to do with it
the artist has achieved his aims
people are talking – over a splash of red

Perhaps the imps were out last night
up where the slate rocks lie
reactions to the sun falling on the hills
people are pleased with what they see on the eye
lilacs , lavenders and amethyst shades – all those and much more
everyone visiting loves the scene – so off they do explore
#beach #quiet #moment
Early morning
calm before the chaos
watching the sun pop its head
above the waterline
catching those precious
early morning rays
watching her shadow like a little girl
as she leaves footprints in the sand

Digital Telly was never supposed to be like this
with the computer looking after the signal
it was supposed to be clearer and sharper
with up to the minute relayed information
on your big screen TV
They never saw your aerial being used as a perching post…..

Sat in the hotel dining room
waiting for his bacon and eggs to be dished up
he works on an impromptu masterpiece
his models not as picky as usual
but they’re the stars of this pre-breakfast show
while the main act is getting ready

Travelling from quite a fair distance
Up on my bedside cupboard, lives a soap stone turtle
Regaled in fancy patterns, carved by the artisan
Turns heads with newcomers who haven’t seen him
Likes to hang about with others of his kind
Except – while he is Black and White – his pal is in colour
Beacon beaming from the bright tower
provides guidance for the skipper of a trawler
as he pulls his catch towards the harbour
following the light
that skips along the water
created by the bright bulbt
hat turns around in the tower
Up above the basalt hills
some creatures they were playing
they thought they’d be safe up high in the clouds
so they just carried on wi their stacking
Little flat and greyish rocks
stood on top of each other
one mountain dwarf enjoyed the fun
so he called on his brother
And together – they made something – oh so high
and other dwarves – round th’ hills – said they wanted to try
so they all joined in under cover of the cloud
and built something the village of dwarves were all proud
and to save the towers of which they had built
they left walkers message – down in the silt
“Artwork by mountain folk – please do enjoy”
“be careful around them – and do not destroy”

Heading off on a journey ?
enjoy the trip
a ride you haven’t enjoyed since you were young
driving round and round
in a vain attempt to find the right road out
noted you thought you knew the right direction –
going to be dizzy when you finally find the right exit
