The Inkwell#CYW #RadicalRed
You could call the mural – sensational
most definately original
a throwback to the days of Orwell and the Wigan Pier
Modern day politicos and trendsetters
Painted on a canalside wall
More Lenin than Liverpool
and while the decorators decide what to do with it
the artist has achieved his aims
people are talking – over a splash of red
#CYW #RadicalRed
They wanted to change the system
and united under a flag
led by men of learning
fighting wasn’t their bag
so instead they marched the streets
in order to reach a change
and workers shut the factories
till their voices were in range
The voices , sole , were low in noise
but soon became a crowd
till one day they reached the gates of power
and called out as one aloud
And the rulers , they had to listen
as the wheels of industry stopped
and the army weren’t getting their pay
so the walls defending them dropped
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
#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
Perpetually found in a christmas pudding
luscious fruit sweet, with a stone in the middle
usually found in a jar in a jam or
made into a sauce and served with Dim Sum
#CYW #Pinksherbet
Someone should really have told you
how zingy that pudding really is
every day you headed for the ice cream cart
rounding on this raspberry combo
but your face – after the initial taste of the raspberries
engaged into full on scrunch mode as your
tongue took on the individual taste
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 #Pinegreen
Perhaps you would say
Its probably the most recognisable tree
Next to the horse chestnut and
English Oak – Its seeds hanging from its evergreen branches
Growing commences when these seeds find their way under ground
Released into the air slowly and then
Enjoying the journey towards the clouds
Expect a squirrel to use it for a home while birds
Nest in the higher branches above them
#CYW #Piggypink
Pink piggies like the ones in the farm
on a plate with instant charm
really tasty with their marshmallow noses
krafty icing with a number of poses
perhaps you’d be worried – about poor mr pig
in fact – when i tell you – you might do a jig
news is – i can tell you – that no pigs come to harm
king of his field – is still sat in the farm
