#CYW #Brown #Wet #Mud #Footprints #Camping
Camping out in the wilds, has its disadvantages
As the weather can be particularly nasty
Making your way across the field to the washroom as
Persistant little raindrops land on your head
If you gave it some thought – you would have moved the tent
Now everyone will know who disturbed their sleep – as you’re
Going to leave a trail – right up to your tent!
#promptuarium #rabbit
At the bottom of the field , there’s a rabbit
Who’s height nearly blocks out the sun
His shadow covers most of the vegetable patch
And to the farmer that isn’t much fun
But he’s tricky this tall furry rabbit
Can’t be shot at and turned into chops
For as soon as the workers can see him
Down a big hole he just pops
And chasing him round fields are a no no
As between them there’s nowt but a mess
More than crop circles created
The locals are somewhat impressed
So instead, hes hived off some patches
For this rabbit to do what he please
In the hope he keeps off the carrots
And dines out on lettuce and peas
Sunday 6th August 2017
Salford Via Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester
(a tale of a cricket match…by inky)
A summers day
a Pavilion tea
watching the locals
its 100 for 3
The bowler holds the ball
of cork in his hand
Field placement set –
his tactics all planned
And Batsman on Green
waits for ball to be bowled
part of this game
thats ages old
No test match stars here
there up the Manc Road
but crowd is excited
as action explodes
Bowler Takes run up
from village hall clock
Batsman Prepared
solid as a rock
Ball hits the ground,
and it bounces in the air
Batsman clips ball
to the boundary, square
And Wicketkeeper yells
as fielders in a fix
trying to stop the cork ball
scoring a six
But , Alas ball descends
to the boundary , flat
and the sound of the “Third Man”
who shouts out “OWZAT!!!”
#Coloryourworld #cyw #cornflower #blue
Captured by the artist, a field of wildflowers
Others might call it – a sea of blue
Round trees, and grass I see you
Navigating your path through the grass, helped by the breeze
Forming a trail, you and your kin, around the cows
Lovely flower, with spiky petals
Over the green fields you grow – a butterfly’s dream
When seen , its difficult to predict or
Expect what will happen to you, are you off on a journey or will you
Rest in the basket of a passing visitor
#coloryourworld #cyw #bluegreen
The painter played with his shades
capturing land and sky
luscious fields of green
meeting up with shades of blue
and as field and sky met Together
at horizon, they converged
forming new colour round middle
where land and sky they merged
A tale of a turquoise butterfly
To some , who watch you
under a binoculars lenses – your winged colours
reflect a wonderful green-blue iridescence
quite breath-taking at both day and night
usually the watcher would spend an age in their hide
only coming out to grab an
instant photograph on their camera
something to show the folks back home
evidence of what they were waiting an age in that field for
