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

A response to this weeks write club theme – there will be more, thanks to lockdown!
You could tell it was the first day of Autumn
the four winds were having a wail of a time
with the things their friends had left them
It wasn’t Christmas , but it might well have been
for as well as the brown, yellows and golds
the trees had left them something – Red and Blue
So instead of lifting the sparrows around
they decided to play with the thing they had found
and kids from their windows spotted at night
the winds playing happily with their red and blue kite

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

A Sign that winters on the way
Up in the trees, the leaves colours are changing
There hangin’ on to their branches for dear life but
Unless you haven’t noticed – greens have been swapped for
Mostly Reds and Browns, with yellows inbetween
Note though – occasional splashes of crimson – Christmas coming early ?

The bird’s seem to have got the message
The mercury is in retreat
A nip in the air – you’re feeling
As you’re heading down the street
Clouds of grey are gathering
waiting for their time
to sprinkle their raindrops down on the ground
blocking out the sunshine
And while cold air for autumn
seems to be the norm
our feathered friends have headed off
someplace tropical and warm
Don’t Fret though – as soon as the sunshine burns
those feathered friends, who flew off will return
land with little uns – who will have grew
onto a patch of green grass nearby you

The weather’s changing, so I created this colourful arty piece with bits from an old notebook….enjoy the read

As the Mercury retreats towards its bulb, i’ll be creating more of these.
Making moves on a Salford rooftop
a magpie greets another –
getting comfy on a television aerial
perched as they are , on the corner of the building
it’s blustery and cold – so as soon as they’ve met – they
exit for a more sheltered position – under the cornices of a nearby building

Coming from two trees that hold its name
Horse and Sweet varieties exist
Each Autumn kids can be found playing games with conkers
Sweet fare created from the conkers sibling
Tartlets and pies and they’re even used at the Christmas table
Note however – you can’t eat the conker
Unless of course – you happen to be a squirrel
Though its easier if you find one – to plant it for a new tree.

There’s too much noise in the world today
too much confusion, hurry and bustle
arguing over the price of a brew
as they all give their opinion
Its time to stop,
take a moment, in pleasant surroundings
watch the flora and fauna around you
enjoy the spectrum of the seasons
Time to breathe, slow down
keep calm and unwind
Be Nice to one another – Be Kind
and let Nature ease you from the Daily Grind

As summer draws to a close
and green leaves turn to red
the leaves of the less evergreen
aided by wind rain and streams
float off in a dream, light as a feather
to their final resting spot
where they leave a mark of colour
on the paths around them
