#fowc #unique
Unusual – standing out from the crowd
Never seen in a pair
It sticks out from the other shiny stones as it has
Quite colourful characteristics
Upto now – its sat there hiding among the pebbles
Except – it wasn’t to know you would be walking on by
#fowc #strategy
school fun in the playground
taking time out from spelling and sums
rolling out your fleet of ships
as you mark them out on your eight by eight grid
then you guess where your pal has hidden his
each marking the
guesses with a cross where each vessel is
you’ll play this all day – or until the schoolbell rings for class
Dreamy, light and fluffy
enjoyed by young and old alike
luscious strawberries held in a moment
it’ll be wolfed down by all
captured in the glass as it is
it’s not any old mousse – and
of course – those at the table will ask “Any more?”
usually, its chef’s privilage to go at the mixing bowl – but
someone will be re-using it to make seconds – or sharing….
#fowc #Liquid
I
Like rain
it drops into the water below
quite gracefully
umbrellas not required
it’s used to clean your cutlery
dinner plates and all
II
Freshly Squeezed from
ripened berries
up in the trees or bushes
it’s the hiding place for vitamins and minerals
tasty – and good for you
III
Enough fuel in the tank ?
Navigating your way to the nearest truck stop
Enabling you to fill your vehicle up with gas for the
Roadtrip ahead
Gas guzzlers do more than smaller vehicles, but
You’ll keep on filling up to get from A to B
#fowc #comfort
Cold weather isn’t nice to be out in, so
on winter days, you’ll find me wrapped up with a
mug of warm hot chocolate in my paws and
furry slippers on my feet – while
outside its snowing and blowing a gale – i’m
reading a book inside, looking out of the window now and then
toasty and warm, away from the cold
#Fowc #Gravy
Good heavens! you’ll cry – its just a sauce, made from
Roasting juices of the meat cooking in the oven –
Actually, they cheer in unison – its much more than that
Vegetable water and various seasonings are mixed in too –
You might even get a flavour of the drink you’re having with your dinner
#Fowc #Vapor
clouds of something
intoxicating travel through
northern skies
broken up by the wind but
caught in transit
by those innocently
flying by
#Fowc #Hail
Hard rain fell from the skies
aiming to fall on northern plains
“it’s dangerous this falling ice”, said a
legionnaire to his centurion – so quickly they took cover
#fowc #anticipate
You just know it’s coming
there’s a patch of blue – but its covered in grey
lakes of water now pool in the recesses
of tarmac roads
the last of the water travels slowly
towards the open grid
while the other clouds tease you
to nip out without an umbrella
come out and play – they say
ready to throw a bucket or two
at you
#Fowc #Utilize #Utilise
Sat in the hotel dining room
waiting for his bacon and eggs to be dished up
he works on an impromptu masterpiece
his models not as picky as usual
but they’re the stars of this pre-breakfast show
while the main act is getting ready
