The Inkwell#CYW #Melon
Maybe its me – but I always
expected the colour of a melon would be darker than the one
like you find in your box of crayons – its innards more red than pink
of course, buy a honeydew it’s as yellow as the sun
nice sliced up – they’re sweet regardless of which one you choose
Maybe its the deep red colour
as you stare at its grain that makes your
heart fall for the piece
of furniture its made from
great pieces of indian redwood
are carefully crafted into
naturally flowing tables and chairs
year upon year – as old is replaced by new in the forest

It’s a colour known for its position on the rainbow
nestled between its brother , blue and its sister, violet
definately making a statement on the home furnishings front
in fabrics, curtains, sofas and carpets
garments too – brought to life by this deep dark purply blue
only – don’t call it blue – its got its own character
Salford, Saturday 28th March 2020
For one saturday only – a reblog…..I would have taken the Nikon out to see if i could spot the odd one of these mooching round the city parks flowers but with the global bug lockdown….i’m sharing this one from last year.

In time – you’ll become a wonderful thing
Noted for the wonderful patterns on your wing
Caterpillar family – small you may be
Hoping to sleep in the best of the tree
When you are little – you cannot be seen
Out eating the leaves of the trees whilst you’re green
Remaining on trees till you start to take flight
Making small kids smile from morning through night
#CYW #HotMagenta
Its not what you’d call a subtle colour
and it couldn’t be called pink or purple
a fiery marriage where red meets blue
but mother nature seems to like
using their off spring to bring a bit
of eye catching colour to the garden
look around you’ll see it every where else too
in signs, on walls and in windows
the future’s bright – the future’s …. Magenta
There’s something about your shade
you could be a fresh lemon, or a zesty lime on the canvas
the artist just can’t decide,
for the fruit in the bowl can be your colour while it ripens up
turning yellow or green when its ready for eating
#CYW #Gold
There’s nothing better than a summer sky
warm coloured tones of
corn or wheat growing in the farmers field
or maybe the thought
of sinking your toes into warm golden sands
before dipping them in the sea
breakfast dinner or tea – wonderous eggs
dipped with bread soldiers
for an afternoon feast
#CYW #ForestGreen
For years you’ve seen this glorious colour
out in the wilds beyond your door
rolling hills and valleys
encapsulated in it by
swathes of green grass and
trees as far as the view will take it
Grown from a simple cutting
reaching up high to the nearest cloud
everyone enjoys walking among them
each looking about to see which animal enjoys the
nuts and berries grown from the branches
Elevated in its Coloured
Leaves brighter than your oaks , ashes or sycamore
Emitted Luminescence – it would probably light up in the dark
Creating a lovely neon effect
To some insects – its a dream plant – saying “come and eat me”
Reality – the glow tells them to stay away
In case the leaves make them ill – only the bravest
Caterpillar dares to have a chomp
#Cyw #DesertSand
people did not know
where it travelled quickly from
coming in darkness
Mighty chariots
Once painted by the frost
Now covered in sand
Roadsweepers Smile at
Opportunity to build
Coins in the piggybank
While down on the shore
the dunes off the north coast
grew taller a bit
