#fowc #clear
Cloudy skies today ? hardly
light from the sun falls down like raindrops
even the sky is a wonderful shade of blue
a warm and bright day
ready for a picnic ? we’re headed for the park
Tag: bright
#FOWC #Shadow
A response by inky to Fandango’s One word challenge
Sunshine’s monochrome friend
Heavens Universal to animal, bird, reptile and human
As the sun shines its beams – it appears on the floor
Disappearing when the clouds cover it up
Of course – they disappear
When the sun goes behind – reappearing on a bright moon

Creating a buzz

#Beeinthecity #Manchester #Buzz
A poem in honour of those colourful bees currently nesting in my city
The hive will be in Gtr Manchester till 23rd September – it’s well worth a visit.
(for those who haven’t read my #beeinthecity posts – they’re artworks!)
The hive arrived
Home for some bees
With artistic flair
Swarming around
City streets, with a
Hint of colour
Covering the sights
Of the county
North to south
Bringing smiles
From Salford’s quayside
To Manchester’s airport
Salford, 2nd April 2018
Radiant in the dawn of sunset
a candle lights the darkness
dim at first, but getting brighter
illuminating the building with its brothers and sisters
as power goes – it gives a torch a run for its money
not to mention the electricity grid
the fuses die ? – out comes the candles

The latest batch of carrots 🥕
in farmer 👨🌾 Giles field
are the brightest vegetables to be seen
and not easily concealed
for these orange carrots 🥕 are so bright
their tops can be seen in the field at night
he said he got the carrot seed
from a friend from out of town
(who really was from planet 🌎 x
and heading homeward bound)
but whilst the carrots grew on field
at night they were to wildlife revealed
so rabbits 🐰 mice 🐭 and hares all
in farmer Giles field are having a ball…
with the gigantic bright carrots Giles is selling for cash
in cakes, soups and salads and even as mash!

Outlandish – some call it, zesty – perhaps
Unless you lack the vision for colour – you’ll definitely see it
The fashionistas , look on – a mix of intrigue , happiness and horror
Riots must have taken place in a fruit canning plant
As there’s splashes of bold bright orange all over that dress
Grabbing the eye, definitely – but would you wear it, they ask
Everyone politely claps and smiles nicely
Of course, its the outfit the critics will talk about tomorrow
Until then – the barbed comments remain in their notebooks as
Summers latest trend walks boldly down the catwalk
