The Inkwell#CYW #Killarney #PurpleMountainMajesty
Perhaps the imps were out last night
up where the slate rocks lie
reactions to the sun falling on the hills
people are pleased with what they see on the eye
lilacs , lavenders and amethyst shades – all those and much more
everyone visiting loves the scene – so off they do explore
Just look at it
a taste sensation
zesty and fruity fruit
zipped up in a sweet pastry pillow
best eaten after tea – but can be
eaten, scoffed or wolfed down at any time of day
rich red fruit at its centre
really nice with a warm cup of tea
yet you can also have it for a dessert!
#cyw #pinkflamingo #octpowrimo
playing around with his feathers
Balanced on one leg
Waiting for that moment
When the keeper comes in
And throws another shovel
Of fresh Morecambe shrimp
Into the water
#CYW #Periwinkle
Dancing around in the lightest of breezes
bringing a spot of colour to parks and gardens
before the frost comes in
the ground you sit in determines your colour
sometimes you’re pink, sometimes you’re purple
but most of the time you’re as blue as the sky above you
and you shore up your fellow flowers
the daffodils and tulips keeping them standing tall
while the breeze of the wind goes through the park
#CYW #Peach
Picked from the trees in the hills of Asia
each fruit furry to the touch
and juicy with every bite – just watch out for the stone in the middle
can be eaten on its own, or with custard or cream
hot out of the oven – its wonderful in a pie or a flan
#CYW #PacificBlue
When i see you around
i’m reminded of warm summer days
and the waters of the ocean
lapping the sandy shore
Attracting the sportsmen
playing about for fun
in their watersports gear
Motorboats and Jetskis
tearing a white wave
through your dark blue waters
Your Colours more deep
than your Mediterranean cousin
but seamen still hang around your deep shades
hoping to land that one in a million catch
No denying the dish of the day
every rabbit around has been after
one since the man in the spaceship planted
nine hundred and ninety nine
Colourful seeds in the abandoned field
a whole host of wildlife had a share from
radishes to lettuce – with their extra special glow
rabbits enjoyed the carrots
of course – now they’ve eaten the alien crops
they’re easy to see – just not that easy to catch!
#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

#cyw #indigo
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
