Salford 4th May
#stillness #writeclub
Calmness lives across the bay
No golden trams rumbling past
No ripples or young fish at play
No parties of football fans starting to mass
Somewhere beyond the water deep
The King of the Salmon is down in his keep
But with no other fisherman making them leap
He’s resting among greenery – fast asleep
The trees by the water – are eerily still
No wind to speak of – so they aren’t bending at will
The wildlife sit in the branches of trees
As the mercury rises by a couple of degrees
And strange as it is – the birds make no noise
Sat on their metal perch – with perfect poise
Watching the bubbles of the fish in the Deep
Watching the fish in their home – fast asleep
