Don’t need the sea or the moon
to see this colour
Its there when I look in the mirror at me

Various colours come together
In union to
Bring a smile to peoples faces
Rainbows of bright
And brilliant shades come together
Note how the primaries of red, blue and yellow merge and
Transform into the secondaries of Orange, Green and Purple

Lighting the dark
Tuesday 10th April 2018
It glows
lighting up the darkness
for all who seek the light
colours brighten the morning sky
produced by insects that do fly
up the trees and plants around
feeding on nectar, without making a sound
to others they brighten a darkened day
but they’re happy to just fly around and play.

Plants need looking after when they’re little.
I remember , as a lad being given three packets of seed by my Grandad.
they never told me what was in those silver packets
but each day i’d go to my spot by the lawn, to see what popped out of the ground
and with watchful eye, my mum and dad helped me sort the weeds from the plants
whilst i watered the soil, when the clouds weren’t dropping the rain
and each day, slowly but surely, the little seeds grew
flowerheads hid away till the sunshine appeared
and on those days i’d water them with my watering can…
then one day the flowerheads opened
and a square of reds, pinks, oranges , yellows and blues surrounded the lawn

Mr frosts return
Salford, 11th December
They said the mercury was rising today
Well, someone didn’t inform Jack Frost and his winter imps
For as I write, sat perched in a chair by a radiator
They appear to have left pretty patterns
All over peoples car windows and roofs
Seems like he’s skipped across the skies too,
As there’s a definite blue streak across Salford skylines

Gremlins in the Machine
Salford, 23rd November 2017
Gremlin n. a cause of unexplained malfunction
ever get one of those days when nothing goes right ?
Thursday evening – and i’m going through the snaps i took with the D3100 the other day.
Now take a look, this is how my dear computer judges what my camera thinks my outside lawn looks like. It could be it was fooled by the Manchester weather, and in its defence it was throwing down stairrods when i took the pic. But then again, i have been confined to the house the last few days – thanks to a bug i picked up (don’t worry – the cold remedy has worked)
Now before it throws another strop – here’s evidence for the prosecution – it worked perfectly well when i was doing my black and white shots in the kitchen.
and it liked the pics of the spoons
It even liked the black and white shot i took of the Coffee, Sugar and Tea Jugs
So i’m starting to think – my poor old camera has caught a cold (sic)
Or that the gremlin that lives on my computer (hereby known as the update wizard) has attacked my computers ability to work out colour!

Poem borrowed from my page at Allpoetry.com
A tale a bit crafty, a bit religious, but all by me
Artwork created at Craft Sessions at Brain & Spinal Injury Charity in Salford.
As the Sun comes up,
its light shines through
the panels of coloured glass
angling the now coloured light
painting a picture,
of scenes on a floor
And as the sun shines,
through that brightly coloured window
reds cast with yellows
and greens cast with blues
as molten lead holds on tightly,
keeping the picture alive

Some say they prefer it to Gold
it’s the way the
light falls on it you see
venerated by wise men and pirates alike
everyone knows – this precious metal – is secure in its place
revered by every smith that works it and every miner that hews it from the ground
#Coloryourworld #cyw #wildwatermelon
Wonderous fruit of passionate pink
Armoured by thick green peel
Tasty at any time – breakfast through to supper
Each slice taken from you bursting with flavour
Rounding on the tastebuds to make them water
Maybe its summertime when you are at your best
Enjoyed under the blue skies of a
Long summers afternoon
Or perhaps its when the chef has diced you up and placed you
Next to the Oranges, Mangoes and Papayas in a fruit salad
Rich is the primary color
enveloped in the romantic notion of
dozen red roses
Royalists adopt this color up and down
England, Scotland Ireland and Wales
Draped in Silks Satins and Tartans alike
Round sporting stadiums too
Everyone cheers in northern cities for
Dozens of teams donning Red Shirts
