#CYW #BurntSienna
I recall a leather chair
the smell of it as I sat in it in the morning
it’s sound as I got my back into its folds
it squeaked – like a mouse looking for food
Looking out beyond the glass
in a warm seat
looking out for snowmen
beyond the garden fence
Sitting there quietly
watching the snowflakes
fall to the ground
whilst warming my hands on a hot mug

Camping out in the wilds, has its disadvantages
As the weather can be particularly nasty
Making your way across the field to the washroom as
Persistant little raindrops land on your head
If you gave it some thought – you would have moved the tent
Now everyone will know who disturbed their sleep – as you’re
Going to leave a trail – right up to your tent!

Bringing an aire of nature to the painters palette
Red mixes with yellow and that colour goes darker as
Orange meets black and blue
Wild Animals have this colour in their fur , feathers and quills
Notably the geese who fly across town
Hope you liked this short acrostic for #CYW – Here’s another link to a poem with a brown theme – https://inkdrops.blog/2019/09/08/chocolate-4

Behind that pile of logs
Expect to find
A master dam builder
Versatile in river control
Examining each branch, log and twig, before laying them over the
River Bank, to create his construction
Triangular wonder
cooked by the heat of a thousand suns
in a silver toaster
warming and turning
soft white (or maybe brown) bread
golden and toasty
Yellow butter melts
as it lands on the surface
sinking slowly at the sound of the pop
of a jar opening and the imminent arrival
of the strawberry jam.

The squirrels are a scurrying
amongst the fallen leaves
searching out the conkers
hiding in the trees eaves
Carpet, multi coloured
paints a walker a scene
an autumnal view, that carries a few
colours, of red, gold, brown, green
And as bird watcher goes a twitching,
the animals go have some lunch
As the watcher goes round, he cant help but make a sound
as the leaves underneath him go crunch
But lets give our thanks to the Autumn,
who’s colours are warm and so bright,
as Winter arrives, the frost and snow thrives
turning the leaves on th’floor white!
Out in the Grecian sun
whilst sausages are cooking in the chefs pan
turning brown from pink
the restaurants recipients
are lying on sun loungers
or sat on coral sand beach
worshipping Ra above
in a vain attempt
to mimic their luncheon.
Roman Remains at Oludeniz , Turkey in Watercolour by B.F.Kirkham
Salford, Sunday 29th January 2017
A Watercolour painting of the Roman ruins at Oludeniz, Turkey
Mum and Dad were out of the house this weekend, visiting my little sister and her family,
A marathon session of CSI, NCIS and FA Cup football were planned – and went very well,
(Manchester Utd winning 4-0 on the big tv)
but in between times, i’ve been painting scenes from old holiday snaps and diaries
Rough pencil marks guided me around the page as i blocked out the scene in paint.
Colours used on this one –
Cerelean Blue for the sea,
Burnt Umber for the sand
Sap Green for the plants on the path
Vermillion, Burnt Umber, Crimson and Yellow Ochre for the bricks
Cat (alt title : Marmalade) By Brian F Kirkham
Pencil sketch of cat water coloured by the Artist
Sap Green was used for the Cats eyes
Vermillion , Burnt umber and Crimson for the Cats Fur
Eyes and mouth detail were painted in camp black
Background painted in Cerulean Blue

#cyw #Almond #coloryourworld
Admittedly, I like Almonds….
Like – when they’re scattered liberally over a bakewell sponge or
Made in to powder, and mixed with other ingredients for marzipan
Overall, the taste is really great in a cake
Nutty and sweet – from the seed that escapes from that
Delicately pitted light brown casing
Some would say – they’re delicious! (especially in chocolate!)
#Coloryourworld #cyw #Holidays #Tan
To some,
an absolute must – turning nut – brown
nicely under the summer sun
Toasting under the sun’s rays
As they enjoy a ice cool drink by the
nautical waters
To others, an unachievable goal
As they sit – in the sun – for a few seconds
Next minute – despite the sunblock – red as a lobster
Typical reaction to the sun’s appearance ?
Adolescent Teens hitting the beach towels
Noon till sundown
Turning occasionally
As they lie on sunloungers listening to tunes
Next to the swimming pool
Taken after the damage is done
A dose of soothing after-sun (or calamine)
Next morning’s sun worship – spent covered up
