The Inkwell
Something to brighten up the borders
of your garden as the leaves on the trees start to
roll around in the autumn wind
the gardeners call it pink, the flower buffs call it purple
of course, while it’s still in
flower – nobody minds what shade it is – it still looks lovely by the lawn
#Seasons #Autumn #Poetry #Nature
A Sign that winters on the way
Up in the trees, the leaves colours are changing
There hangin’ on to their branches for dear life but
Unless you haven’t noticed – greens have been swapped for
Mostly Reds and Browns, with yellows inbetween
Note though – occasional splashes of crimson – Christmas coming early ?
#Octpowrimo #Photography #Digital
I remember when
photos were stored away
on rolls of brown film
and getting the picture
required alchemy
Magic paper
bringing scenes of colour
to life onto
white backgrounds
with square borders
Trips to the chemist
a necessity
for those precious memories
of a warm summers day
to be brought to life
computer succeeds the chemist
speeding up the process
chemical symbols changed to 0s and 1s
delivered in a day
Smile!
you’ve got more pics in your hand
more memories to store
more smiles to save
#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
#SoCS #Brush
Bringing a touch of colour to the paper
Reds through to violet as it passes through the brilliant white
Upmost care taken – not to cross any of the bands
Should they seep into the colour next door
Hairs of the brush given a good soak after the artwork’s complete
#FDDA #Writingspace
A Corner of a room
prepared with paper , pens , coloured pencils and such
placed randomly around a silver coloured laptop
located by a local view
if needed , a nearby camera will provide visual cues
combined with words from a number of coloured notebooks
as the ideas form and come together like a rocket
the sky is the limit as
imagination bakes the ingredients and with a little tweaking
out of nowhere, a
new piece is formed for people to read…..Liftoff!
#Writeclub #Popcorn
Confusion reigned among the staff
in the garden centre
Curiously, the conkers they were growing
for selling in pots in the greenhouse
had grown, no sprouted….no rocketed
into something a little more colourful
a little more knobbly and a little more exotic
a lot more tropical and a little less green
i mean – leaves the colours of mixed fruit drops ?
and poking through the glass towards the sky
you couldn’t call them unseen – definately unmuted
as the kids visited every blossom time
picking off popcorn from the branches and petals
Sole observer watching by the shore, as
hopping and skipping towards the beach
in a race to get to him
many of Neptune’s and Ra’s children
move hop skip and jump creating colourful patterns
each one hoping they’ll get there first
racing bring smiles to all who see it
A triolet, written by inky as part of a writing exercise
This band of colour
of various tones
It’s spectrum seems much fuller
this band of colour
Reds are rampant, Blues much buller
in its wavelength of zones
This band of colour
of various tones
