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

Salford, 29th October 2019
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
Announcing the arrival of autumn
under and around each branch of the trees
the keeper of the trees, mother earth has been busy
undertaking her role of changing the colours
making colourful patterns for people to look at
note, the noise that they make – mother earth has done that too!
#Octpowrimo #Seeing
Look down the path – and what do you see ?
cascade of colours moved by the autumn breeze
or cold bare branches, bending in the wind ?
I can see an opportunity
to be the first person through the leaves – before the snow 🙂
In response to Thursday Photo Prompt
The woodland’s changing colour
from lush juicy greens to rustic reds
and painting a picture with a message
on the woodland paths
with each colourful crunch – “Winter’s coming”
“Weather”

“Red skies at Night, Shepherds Delight…..“
This old phrase is still around today.
It was the shepherds way of telling fine weather – a red sky at night normally foretold of fine weather next morning
Whilst a red sky in the morning, normally was followed by grey clouds in the skies above. It gave the shepherd time to get his flock onto lower ground and avoid an immediate drenching 🙂
We’re not out of winter yet in the UK, no matter what the met office say, and I’ve known it snow in March, despite it being technically Spring.

The trees are changing
As the temperature drops
As fast as the rain
Vibrant greens transform
Into a picturesque palette5
Of reds and browns
Signs of mercury
Travelling swiftly towards
The thermometer bulb
And deciduous trees all
Shed their leaves and seeds
In attempt to create new plants
