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

Start of a New Day
Tag: Day
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
#Writephoto #together
They’re quite a team – the Sun and the Moon
On the whole they’re quite phenomenal
Giving the people that live on Mother earth, summat to look at
Each day they work either side of this blue jewel
The Sun giving light to one half while the Moon shines on the other
Helping fishermen land their catches, and Night workers to find their way home
Earth helping both by turning around
Rotating to catch the light

Monochrome II
#Octpowrimo #Black #Cyw #Grey #Greyscale
A rainbow of colour bled dry
leaving more than fifty shades of grey
Night and day coming together
replacing colour with something a bit more definite
It’s that bit, where the sky meets the sea
the place where sun and moon go up and down
to tell the difference tween day and night
an elusive fellow by nature
as he looks so far away when you look at him
by the time you think you’ve got to where he is
he’s either ten miles in front – or stood behind you

Underdog
Unusual for the runt of the litter to be top of the pile
Not used to being top of the tree
Destiny wasn’t really set out for this dog, but
Expect a surprise, for while you write him off this
Right little talented animal is
Doing his thing in front of the tv judges – and
Of course – there’s one of them who’s looking for “That special act”
Got to agree – every dog, has it’s day
Wednesday 18th January 2017
I’ll be posting another piece from my notebooks later, but I’ve just been informed – c/o my Facebook and Twitter feeds…that it’s Winnie-the-pooh day.
and being an ardent Ursinian (that’s a fan of the Great Bear) – I thought i’d share this as it popped up on my public feed…. Pooh and one of the bees from the honey tree 🙂
Given I’ve been entitled to doing something special for an hour in the day – I might just peruse my big book of Winnie the pooh stories – by AA Milne, and enjoy a little something sweet while i’m reading it…
Have a great day folks!
A poem by Inkdropk in response to the prompt
Scorched
The park grass in Greater Manchester looked a little different
November 6th 2016
The morning after the night before
when children watched with awe
at the colourful spectacle
appearing in front of enlightened eyes
The air laced with the smell of Gunpowder
Guido Fawkes’ ghost smiling away
Cinders of wood sit in circles
where warming flames once stood
there’s now stillness, smoke and silence
in the early hours of a cold winters day
as dampened embers force out
The last traces of the bonfires life
a large black and silvery circle
set in a sea of green
unstoppablethis first line is now history..
That is a fact. For until a timelord lands in Salford tomorrow morning and plonks his TARDIS on the front lawn, I will be another day older when the sun rises in the morning.
The planets and moons will still turn around our sun and the flora and fauna that live on the blue earth will still carry on in their various systems of life on this diverse planet.
People will go about their daily lives, and the Wildlife will still live on in the forests and lakes around us.
The tides will go in and out, crabs and other shellfish will pop on the shore to say hello…seagulls woodpigeons and geese will continue their never ending battle with day trippers to grab a fallen piece of a fish and chip supper…whilst cats and dogs look on in envy as they patrol their street in the towns.
And all the time the earth will keep spinning. As the day moves along clouds and skies will shift. There may be rain, there may be sunshine – get them together – you might see a rainbow if you a lucky enough.
Then as the sun changes colour slightly and veers down the horizon – heading for the other half of the world, out pops the moon , the planets and the stars
Living by the busiest road in Europe – I still hear the rumble of wheels on Tarmac, but the night skies offer a newer scene with the characters that live up in the northern sky
On a clear night you can see all the constellations with the naked eye in my hometown. Orion, the plough and all the zodiac animals all pop up to say hello – and whilst i’m watching the stars – someone on the other hemisphere of earth is waking up to a brand new day.
And the earth keeps on turning…
Appearing upon the arrival of the summer sun
following you everywhere you go
casting its presence across rocky headland, and ocean floor
it loves the sunshine and eats it up
but disappears from view upon the sight of grey skies
he rises upon cliffs and stretches across sand
attached to you – he’s one of a kind
only disappearing when the sun goes down
reappearing upon the moon’s arrival
