#fowc #coin
I
Currency – created from metals
Out of the ground.
In different shapes, sizes and colours – depending on
National Border
II
Collected carefully
Out of spending larger amounts
In time – and taken in the piggybank – they’re changed for
New Notes
III
Coppers transformed from
out of the purse
into something
nice to eat, drink, wear or play with
#Promptuarium
Moving to the town
was always going to be
one grand adventure
Barleycorns exchanged for
the finest food money could
buy – right by the door
If you knew the spots
sweet pastries from beyond the
usual mousehole
But dangers afoot
Living in the Metro town
Neighbourhood felines
#CYW #Tumbleweed
The star of any dry gulch western,
hasn’t got many lines in the script
but upon arrival makes an impact
he’ll give you a sense of this lawless town
simply by rolling from the bank to the saloon
as the cowboy comes to sort the bad guys out
#Writephoto #Darkness
Due to a change in Ra’s schedule
Arrangements were made to entertain the wildlife
Rainclouds danced about in the changing sky, but they
Kept on calling for the sun to stay about
Night time wasn’t fun for most of the animals in the fields
Exception ? those living under ground who would
Surface, during the dark hours for a
Snack or two.
#Socs #Links
Like the loops of a chain keeping them together
Like the wires transmitting the news to your TV
Like the road that goes from A to B
Something keeps them together
Romans Rolling over Rural Scenes
Rocky paths for Stallions and Soldiers
Ripping through riverbanks
Miles of track traversing the country
Making its way from Manchester to Middlesex
Mighty juggernauts moving from north to south
Somethings keeps them together
Traversing over hill mountain and dale
To get to the office the shops or the coast
Taking the most direct route possible (sometimes via a tunnel)
Delays ?
Daily occurrence – as
Double time spent fixing holes or faults
Reactions to Roadworks
or leaves on the line ? – Revolutionary
Rolling up to your Destination by bus not train
#Socs #Choices
Choices you make, can form you later on down the line
How you make them is down to you
Of course, there are many paths to travel, to where you want to go
It’s a decision you have to make…..
Cold or Hot, Coast – Countryside – or City
Even eating, can give you pause for thought
Should you have golden syrup or chocolate sauce on your pancakes ?

Derwentwater, Keswick, Lake district, UK
There’s something almost magical
about the Lake water here at sunset
I don’t know myself – what it might be
but as the sun pops down behind trees
the hills and the water take on a purple like hue
bring out colours of heathers that’s grew
up on the hillsides where the flocks of herdwick sheep
are resting till morning, quite sound asleep
