Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will
#octpowrimo #Day #Night
Sunshine popped up from
Under the horizon – The beginning of a
New day
Snoozing flowers taking a stretch
Helping themselves to a bright spot
In a Moment, new shoots will
Negotiate their way through the soil
Elevating themselves to the clouds
Now when the sun has done his bit
Excitable little luna comes out to play
When its time for little un’s to go to bed
moonlight falling
over areas where the Neon and LEDs cannot
owls flying through the nightsky
navigation aided by the stars and moon

They say the skies are full of animals
from Lions to Rams and Great Bears
you need a telescope
for they appear at night
but some they appear – fluffy and white
clear as day, up in the sky
around the air they fly
You can see them when you walk on the sand of the beach
just above your head – within your eyes reach
popping up to say hello
and with a brisk westerly, away they go.
#Socs #Day
lights lift on a saturday morning
over in another spot,
creative sportsmen were getting ready for a game
keepers having no distraction as up in the stands there’s no
direction from the fans
of course, they’ll be back
when they say its safe to do do, but for
now, they’ll have to make do with the recorded highlights
#promptuarium
For centuries, they’ve used the family with
A skill, only a few could master
When called upon, he
Keeps things from blowing up
Exorcising the past he calls it – luckily
Someone knew who his ancestor was

Weekday
Woven tween Tuesday and Thursday
Woden’s Day – named after a saxon god
and a sign – when you wake up
weekend is on its way
#writephoto #twilight
Sat on a bench
taking in the last of the sun’s daily allocation of rays
in that moment of time tween day and night
looking out for luna popping out from behind the marshmallows
lighting up the sky as ra dips below the horizon

They Call it “Modern Living”
as they rise up to the sky
colourful boxes in formation
thirty or fourty miles high
You would definately call it colourful
You could also call it cosy
You could even call it sardine-like
as you give your neighbours a nosy
Some like the format of it all
as they talk to the neighbours ‘cross the way
but some don’t like the shadows
its night in the middle of the day
Balconies round a patch of green
which after sundown, isn’t often seen
watching the clouds pass in the sky
and seeing the odd bird fly by
Greeting me beyond the curtains
long bright line of sky
of course, the sun isn’t full in the sky yet
when it is look forward to seeing the blue
Salford, Monday 4th May
It’s early morning, as i rise
and the street is busy to my surprise
for waking up the chorus (Dawn)
a pussy cat, a little forlorn
He’d spent his time, with his pals last night
playing around under the street lights
but now Ra is up, it has to be said
this furry old cat wants in for his bed
His stomach is full, thanks to a friend on the street
corned beef from a can – a most tasty treat
but his thoughts turned to breakfast, as on street he did play
so off to the garden , he began to make way
And up is his owner, so he’s through the back door
and slowly he goes off to his bed on the floor
so while humans are out, with meetings they keep
our furry old pussycat, is in bed, sound asleep
